My poetry: It is what it is. I have to admit not even I understand one hundred per cent of it, as a lot/all of the words come to me little by little when I lose track of my mind. So I really appreciate it when people give their own interepretations ( hint hint! ).

My poetry has gone through many phases over the four years I've been writing, and even still, I constantly try to grow more as a poet. Most of what I now write is intended to be slam poetry ( i.e, meant to be performed up on a stage with my hands flailing wildly around me ). The audio files are so you can hear what it's supposed to sound like; I definately think it gives a very different impression.
( Just a disclaimer of sorts, not all my poetry is about my actual life, so try not to take ALL of it seriously. )

I've been here for a while. Old account was x__liberar from before the "big crash", if you want to see what's left of my crappy old poetry for some reason.

No-Mistakes Mentality

In February, I posted a couple poems, one of which I was to read at a slam ( which, I might add, went over horribly ). I did not, however, post the second that was to be read, and here it is now, 43 days later, by popular request ( by which I mean, Twill's request ).

Try to Scream

So that last one was really... angry. Yes it was real life. Yes, I'm fine now for the most part. Here's the second one --- it's probably the more personal of the two, and the other one was pretty personal to begin with. Again, keep in mind these are meant to be performed. Thus, there are actions and alternative uses of punctuation.

Love on a String

I know I haven't been on for a couple eternities and I'm sorry, blame school projects and a proclivity towards poor organization... anyways. I need to decide upon one out of two slam poems ( meaning they're more meant to be PERFORMED... just a note ) to go with another one I've already chosen. Any help? Here's the first one.

"Needles and water,..."

My friend thought this sounded a lot like a song when I showed it to her, and I agree. So take note: it's not a song. (:

Sab

This one's extremely personal, so I'm not allowing any comments. Read if you will. It's rather short.

IT. - Five

The fifth part of a collection of poems I have gathered that tell a story when put together in the order they were written.

"Like lights in the Dark,..."

It's about how some people, you can tell, are just... special in a way. I can always tell when someone didn't get it.

IT. - Four

The fourth part of a collection of poems I have gathered that tell a story when put together in the order they were written.

III - Screen

Third chapter of the book I'm writing entitled "CAELUM". Might want to read the first two chapters before getting to this if you haven't already. NOTE: Purposely crappy grammar in Spanish. She's still learning!

"We are quietly giggling and dancing like plastic spinning tops..."

I think I wrote this during the "Great Crash". It is about two BOYS. And yes, it is fictional.
