God, please give me something different, for I have done this far too much.
They've fed me bullshit, in fact, smothered me with it, when I asked for Captain Crunch.

late fragment by anon

>>11030620
I feel this way, is the book related?

I haven't learned so much, I read the miracle of mindfulness and along with charles bukowski (Solipsistic writing) have found a greater clarity in my young adult life. I am noticing a lot more contradictions in myself and working towards...idk what. I am reading In The Heart of the Buddha's teaching right now, I'm gonna stay for a short time at a local monastery soon. I hope to learn a thing or two there

My friends and my friend's grandma talk to me about christianity a lot, I know vaguely of it. My best friend just wrote me from the army and sent me some pages from the bible. I sorta like what I am seeing but christianity just doesn't become me

I have to go to bed soon but thanks for interacting with me. Forgive my bashfulness

>>11030523
Agreed!

>>11030502
how did you get such a sharp wit? Idk how to work on something like that.

>>11030491
dude it's okay, I'm sorry for lashing out at you. Idk why that kinda talk makes me so angry. Maybe I am an angry flawed person. I am reading through Buddhists texts right now and it makes a lot of sense. But I've always disliked christianity idk

the prose was fine, I read All the pretty horses and i liked that it was lyrical, but it does feel like a gimmic. The father-son thing, I wasn't so convinced about that. I read no country for old men too. McCarthy is just really forgettable to me, I read through Blood meridian halfway and thought it was lousy

i'm actually single and a guy. But this thing happens too much and it's sad. Bitches be shopping

>>11030435
I fucking hate this board

>>11030424
People would actually listen to this

>>11030391
hmmmmmmm

>>11030334
I think you might be right, but man do I love having fun
>>11030392
i hated the road idk why

I'd write a death poem right before, and put that in my left jacket pocket for whoever finds it, if anybody.

the funny thing is, you've written something. and even without words, the action of your birth and the actions after that are just as good as any suicide note. You're fucked!

>>11030240
i didn't read all of this but it's really good

>>10927343
Pretty good!

>>10927016
I'm definitely crediting Anon no. 10927016 as co-author

>>10927016
It was very helpful, seriously. This poem's all the better on your account. Your tips make me feel amateur (because I am), so how did you get so knowledgeable about writing/poetry? I want to follow your lead. Maybe there's something I need to read or learn? I barely passed high school. I'm embarrassed that I would've been satisfied sending him the first draft. I'll keep making more drafts, making it perfect. Seriously, THANK YOU!

Wow, thank you! go ahead with your suggestions. I wrote this for my best friend in Army Basic training. It's his birthday soon, the van was his.

poem i wrote about a car I loved
