It is said that writing is autobiographical. To a certain extent I see it as being true. It is difficult not to transmit certain aspects of yourself to your writing. I can also see that writing is not autobiographical. When you read what some authors have written , Stephen King and Edgar Allen Poe to name a couple, one has to realize they are writing ideas that came to them, not through experiences but through exploration.
Today's poem was written after a conversation I had with a friend of mine where she expressed most of the thoughts contained within.
The Difference Between Us
You couldn’t hurt me
You couldn’t feel what I feel
You couldn’t see what it takes
To make what could be so real
It isn’t in you
It isn’t what can be taught
You had grow up with it
That is what is really sought
So I am moving along
It’s not what I want
But what I need
In order to be alive
It’s what I have to do
It’s what I have to have
To see success in my life
You don’t really know
How much I truly love you
How much I truly respect you
But you don’t have what I need
You don’t ever share
Don’t ever see
The importance of what we have
You need to give more
You need to talk more
You need to show you care
But that’s the difference between us
So I am moving along
It’s not what I want
But what I need
In order to be alive
It’s what I have to do
It’s what I have to have
To see success in my life
