train of iris thought goes like this:feeling so many things in life currently. so many things that are so much more than i can handle. searching for clarity. searching for answers. so confused...
listening to owl city. loving the music. wondering about my connection to their other songs. searching lyrics. loving what i find. start searching other lyrics to other songs of other bands that i feel the connection with.
realizing, that it's all been felt and done before. realizing that owl city is so shallow compared to the depths of what's been written and felt before. thinking that song lyrics are all simply poetry put to notes. start searching classic poetry. assuming classic poets and poetry became classic due to the fact that there is a connection felt by many, throughout time. it must be the answer to all that's wrong and right all at once.
can't get into poetry. as usual. keep trying. can't connect. break it down. start searching poetry quotes. suddenly, connecting. suddenly smiling. suddenly needing to read the whole thing...
i know i won't find the exact answer. i know i'll find something though. some normalcy maybe, some entertainment maybe, or maybe just some temporary solace in it all. regardless, it's all i feel i have to put any sort of faith in lately...

I agree!
I believe there is a book "The Joys And Hazards Of Being A Poet" (In a nutshell) How to keep oneself open and vulnerable and still keep ones balance!
Simply profound.
thank you for the book suggestion! i'm lookin for anything right now...
