JUST ASKING…

AS I LOOK AROUND I SEE … THINGS… IT SEEMS…
MANY PEOPLE SEE…THINGS… BUT THAT’S THAT…
ALL THEY DO IS SEE… WHAT IS IT THAT YOU’RE LOOKING AT EXACTLY…
I WONDER… AS I GAZE… I SEE …
A SCREEN…FILLING UP WITH WORDS…AS I TYPE…
AS I PUT MY HEART AND SOUL INTO THIS GROUP…
IN WHICH WE BELONG TO… TO WRITE…
OR AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT… I WAS TOLD THIS GROUP WAS FOR…
SEE I WONDER AGAIN… IS IT A LACK OF TALENT?…
BECAUSE TALENT ISN’T ALWAYS APPARENT…
ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON’T SHOW IT… BUT WHEN IT COMES TO WRITING…
CAN’T NOBODY TELL YOU WHAT YOU FEEL… IS NOT REAL…
SO IT SHOULDN’T BE BASED ON TALENT…BUT RATHER EXPRESSION…
OH I DIGRESS… BECAUSE FOR IT TO BE BASED ON EXPRESSION…
I GUESS… YOU’D HAVE TO BE EXPRESSING SOMETHING…
I DON’T KNOW…BUT I CHOOSE TO SHOW…AND YES I KNOW…
THOUGH…EVERYBODY GLOWS… SOME DON’T WANT TO…
BUT IF THAT’S SO… WE JOINED TOGETHER TO DO THIS GROUP A BLESSING…
FOR JUST THAT EXPRESSION…
SEE WE KNOW YOU HAVE EYES…BUT DO YOU LACK THE ABILITY TO READ…
I SPEAK NOT ONLY FOR ME…BUT FOR EVERYBODY…
WHO CAME FOR WHAT I WOULD ASSUME IS THE SAME REASON…
TO SHARE…
SEE I WAS ASKED…BEFORE MY ADD…
DO YOU ENJOY WRITING? DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A WRITER?
HAVE THINGS TO GET OFF YOUR CHEST…SO TO SPEAK…
COME… COME… TO RHYTHM OF THE MIND…
YET IT’S THE SAME PEOPLE WHOSE MIND SEEMS TO HAVE RHYTHM…
READING… WITHOUT SPEAKING…
WHERE IS THE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM OR THE ADMIRATION?…
I’M JUST ASKING…
AND I DON’T SPEAK OF… JUST… MYSELF
BUT WHERE’S THE LIKES?
IF YOU READ SOMETHING AND IT TOUCHED YOU…
HOW… HOW DO WE KNOW…
WE PUT OUR WORK OUT THERE FOR OTHERS TO SEE
FOR CONFIRMATION… DOES MY WORDS SOOTHE YOUR SOUL? OR DO THEY MAKE YOU ANGRY…
IS WHAT I’M SAYING…REACHING YOU…
OR AM I… WASTING MY…TIME…
CREATING THESE LINES… FOR YOU TO SEE…
OH WAIT MY BAD… YOU DO SEE…
THAT’S THE ONE THING WE KNOW YOU CAN DO…
JUST WATCHING…LOOKING… NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY…
SO WHY EVEN BE IN THIS PLACE…
I’M JUST ASKING…
MY CURIOSITY… HAS GOTTEN THE BEST OF ME…
IT SEEMS…WHAT I SEE…
IS THAT ONLY A FEW… OF US… ARE ACTUALLY OPEN ENOUGH…
TO DISPLAY…WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY…
YET EVERYBODY WANT TO BE A PART… BUT DON’T WANT TO PARTICIPATE…
I’M NOT TRYING TO SWAY… ANYBODY’S WAY…
OF…VIEWING THE PICTURE IN FRONT OF US… BUT MY EYES ARE OPEN…
CAN’T ACT LIKE IT’S NOT SEEN…THIS AIN’T DIRECTED SPECIFICALLY… JUST MY OBSERVATION…
I WANT TO HEAR IF YOU READ MY WORK… WHATS YOUR THOUGHT…
IF YOU LIKE THAT SHIT… LIKE THAT SHIT
YOU HATE THAT SHIT… SAY THAT SHIT…
YO I DON’T REALLY AGREE WITH THIS…
DON’T JUST CLICK…
MATTER OF FACT…DO YOU EVEN READ OR DO YOU SKIM…
DO YOU LOOK AT MY WORDS AND SAY… THIS IS TOO LONG FUCK THAT
BECAUSE IF SO… I’D RATHER YOU NOT EVEN LOOK…
I’M JUST ASKING…
I WAS JUST UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS WAS A PLACE…
WHERE WE…WOULD BE…
TESTING EACH OTHERS PEN…
NOT NECESSARILY COMPETITION… BUT A WAY TO SEE…WITH WHAT EVERYBODY HAS TO OFFER…
A PLACE WHERE LIKE-MINDED INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE THE SAME WAY OF RELEASING THEIR TENSION…
CAN COME TOGETHER…
DON’T MIND ME THOUGH…BECAUSE WHO AM I TO KNOW
WHAT’S THE REASON BEHIND WHAT CERTAIN PEOPLE DO..
I JUST KNOW IF I SHARE SOMETHING WITH YOU…
AND YOU DECIDE THAT IT’S WORTHY TO GRACE YOUR EYES…
GIVE ME SOME MUH FUCKIN FEEDBACK…
OR AT LEAST BLESS ME WITH YOUR SKILLS…
I AIN’T BETTER THAN NOBODY… PROBABLY…
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TOTEM POLE…
BUT WITH EVERYTHING I WRITE…I TRANSFER MY SOUL
AND SO…
WHEN THEM CHALLENGES HIT I DO AS I’M TOLD…
BECAUSE I CAME HERE FOR INSPIRATION TO WRITE MORE… AND BESIDES A FEW…
ALL I SEE… IS NOT PEOPLE LIKE ME… BUT ONLY… PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO READ…
IF I INSPIRE YOU…LET ME KNOW….
IF I DON’T… LET IT SHOW…AND THIS GOES
TO EVERYONE WHO POSTS… LET THEM KNOW…
THAT NOT ONLY THEY ARE SEEN… BUT THAT THEY GLEAM…
I MEAN… IT’S JUST MY OPINION… I DON’T KNOW NOTHING
BUT I’M JUST ASKING
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO JOINED…TO BE IN A COMMUNITY OF WRITERS THAT ACTUALLY WRITE…
BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T WRITE…CAN YOU TRULY CALL YOURSELF A WRITER…
BUT YALL KNOW BY NOW ALREADY…
I’M JUST ASKING…
