escape feeling too often
incapable unworthy
somehow less than
the rest despite
my lack of production
while I compose these
lines itching
even now to tear
out the page and throw
them away
I still feel
better for having
expressed even smoke and
whiskey tempered emotional
emptiness
wasted on feeling
sorry
for myself.
of thoughts is ever unworthy or wasted, as long as they can still be shared and instill a strong impression on its readers, which is exactly what this piece accomplishes.
I enjoyed the whole poem, but this really hit home:
"smoke and whiskey tempered emotional emptiness"
You do a wonderful job of expressing that feeling.

alone with your feelings. I"m often tempted to toss out work that I've done, but then realize it would be My emotions being thrown away rather than expressed in poetry. It's a wonderful two sided therapy session, you know; each time you post one and then for those here that see your work.<smile> So, speaking from this side, thank you for sharing your feelings in this very productive "session" today.

You are gifted writer and it's always a pleasure to read you.
