A poem

[BA]

Obscure, why are you so nasty? It is unbecoming.

[obscure]

I know you have something personally against me AB, but I hardly think this is the place or the time for it. If you'd like to speak me personally, you can always send me a private message through the boards. Remember that I wasn't the one who discontinued our communication. I was nothing but open and honest with you the entire time. It was you who opted to stop speaking altogether.

As far as why I am so "nasty," I think it probably stems from the fact that I personally have had my work ripped off. I've been in situations before where people have actually taken my work and claimed it to be their own. There's nothing more unbecoming than that.

Whether that's what she thinks she did or not, it would have been wise of her to actually give fair credit as opposed to sticking it in in what we are supposed to believe is her own personal work.

I understand how that is like, I've had that happen to some of my work as well, in a large and fairly profitious way for the person who stole mine (I could rant about that all day and night...).

.

Nonetheless, even though she didn't say it was someone else's; she didn't claim it as her own work either, and she hasn't published it or anything, so no harm, no foul. She found the lyric(s) perhaps inspiring, and that's fine. I don't think we need to break out the crucifix over something like that.

Well, I apologize Obscure.

[BA]

I repectfully step out of this one. No energy for it. Laura, I don't even know the lyric you lifted from. I appreciate the fact that you wanted to share something that was meaningful to you.

Obscure, I apologize for saying you are nasty.

Thank you AB

[laurasweetou]

you know these poems are very personal to me, and I really feel like I am "putting myself out there". I DID NOT mean to plagiarize if it can even be considered that... In any case, I'd still like to post more.

Walking slowly
Deep in thought
Trying to figure out what you have sought
What do you see?
Because when I look in the mirror I only see me!
Me who is and was and hopes not to be
Oh, my darling tell me what you see


Opinions of my own
Always seem to be alone
My voice is small
Like a china doll with a painted on mouth
That doesn't really speak
Shes meek
But I pretend I'm not

what does that mean Eric?

[matisse]

I have written a little bit, but I don't like doing it. I preferred short stories. But I don't do that anymore either.
