You know what's a good place to post writing? The Writer's Guild section of the forum.

Indeed it is. But since this is My Forum, we're going to do it my way, and I say it stays.

Anyway, I did post this in a poetry thread a while back in the Writer's Guild. But since that thread died, I'll post it here too. I wrote this when I was in a rut.

Or Either
________

Climbing up a ladder
with no end
and no beginning.
Floating down a river
with no paddle
and no shore.
Speckled with the scars
earned at the crossroads
of life's travels;
my trophies of the pains
I never knew
I would endure.
And through the sadness,
through the pain,
I struggle with a question.
Is life worthwhile
for the trip,
or for the destination?
.

Or Either?

I like your poetry...
I write some myself too... I'll post a couple later (when I'm back home)

here's one of mine

"Flying"

It's not that she was miserable,
or dreary everyday,
She did agree with life,
and yearned for it to stay,
yet all she really wanted was
to fly away.

In life she held the principals
the virtues of the day
she followed all directions,
and seldom did delay
but all she really wanted
was to fly away.

Away from all the troubles
That live around the block
Away from the door of time
And fears that seemed to knock
It's not as if she feared another day
But all she really wanted
was to fly away.

Away from "I'm not good enough"
Away from "something more"
Away from "Can you help me,”
and an ever whispering roar,
Away from all the requests, she felt she must obey
Yes, all she really wanted
was to fly away.

To leave an open window
And open wide her wings
To stretch them to forever
And see what yonder brings
To see the stars in all their bright array
Indeed all she truly wanted
was to fly away.

To soar with the birds
And dive through the clouds
to feel silence and solace
above all the crowds
to feel the sun's life-giving, golden ray
To feel the beauty,
to simply fly away.

It was her soul's desire,
to be herself one day,
to be her only master
to do things her way
she needed her own person
to discover who she was
to have herself come first
away from all else, above
above all the confusion
above the rattles of the day
what she needed most
was to fly away.

No one understood,
or thought of what SHE had to say
until they looked around
and found she had flown away.

She flew where ere the wind took her,
Where she hoped she could find peace
She flew where she felt happy
Where she could find release
She never knew that she could feel this way
Until the day
She stretched her wings
and flew away.

Crystal Shatter

Leave me alone, I wish for solitude
Don’t come in, my space is not yours
I won’t let you near and you won’t want
Let me scream and make the CRYSTAL SHATTER

I had a bad day, it doesn’t matter
Caused by a flood, not of your concern
We’ll clash one day, you know it is true
Just let me scream and make the CRYSTAL SHATTER

It sparkles so bright
With the sun creeping in
The beauty is unbelievable

I want to SCREAM, I want to cry, I want to have Time
Let me scream and make the CRYSTAL shatter.
