I opened an account here almost a year ago under the name Greyfaith (I think).
When I first became homeless, I wrote alot more, then somewhere along the way It thought, "I just wrote an amazing poem.... now what" It does not feed me, it does not cloth me, etc. So I stopped writing for a long time.
Then someone convinced me to start posting my poetry on the internet. Maybe it's just my ego, but I realized how much I love getting feedback on my work. I also realized in poetry I am able communicate with people on a level that I never could any other way.
As far as writing style, I just write from life experience,
and if nothing else I have a ton of that to spare.
I am also a Heroin addict (I have been on methadone for a awile now) and spent much of my adult life (14-19) living on the street and in jail. These things tends to be the basis of much of my writing
I have made alot of mistakes and did a alot of things I will forever regret. I have hurt a lot of people in my life, most of all the ones that cared for me the most. I still pay for those mistakes everyday, and I am sure I will for a very long time.
I don't claim to write anything worth reading, I only know it helps me work through alot of the guilt. If you get something from it too, then all the better.
I really don't know what more to tell you, so I will just end here.
We must find out what words are and how they function.
They become images when written down,
but images of words repeated in the mind
and not of the image of the thing itself."
