Come on, baby, sell it! Sell it well!
Why is it that in life you are constantly returning back to the things that hurt you the most?
You have made your own personal businesses, selling
yourselves out to everyone you deem that you can trust. You pull people closer and closer just to feel “loved,” and you say the words because you like the way they sound, in love with the idea of being infinite. Making yourselves weak, you grow numb exposing yourselves completely to one another only for a feeling, a temporary feeling that will inevitably never last. You are over exposed, your wounds have now become fatal, and all of your scars are from yourselves, though you still wonder how they got there…
WHAT-HAVE-YOU-DONE?.. You have sold your souls… You pawned them, for a 30-minute feeling, and every waking moment you give more and more away. Then you find yourselves thrown out into the world with everything that you never wanted placed before you for the population to see and again you grow weak. You have become so numb that you have mutilated the meaning to unrecognizable refuse, so numb that you cannot even feel the blade you have placed in your own hearts. Now you have nothing left to give, but you do not know. Not yet.

ReplyDeleteso jill- i think i remember this from your poetry response from forever ago & it has always been my fave thing you wrote. if i can quote it.. it would be the "in love with being infinite" part. it is pretty genious if i must say. very well writtenn girl & very true for most people.. woooo good job.
WOW Jill that is all I can really say... That was one of the most heart felt and brave things I have ever seen anyone write. My favorite things about your writtings are not that they are "Sad", but rather realistic. You have a beautiful way of expressing yourself. This is evidenced though my favorite quote, "so numb that you cannot even feel the blade you have placed in your own hearts" Truly spectacular!

I agree with Kelsey and Riley; that was really amazing, Jill! It was both descriptive, mysterious, and realistic at the same time and that is really hard to do. I think you are going to be the next Edgar Allen Poe!
ReplyDeleteJill, this was really good. I love how deep and thought-provoking your writing is. It always flows together and conveys a realistic message about a subject that a lot of people don't really think about. Good job!
ReplyDeletejill i love the way you write because you are not afraid to write the truth. when you write it makes us stop and think about our lives and the hard things in our lives that we are to afraid to face.
ReplyDeleteJill, I can always count on you to say something that others are too scared to say. I, myself, had not reached the level of enlightenment on this subject that you have touched, but you have helped me step a little closer. This is a great thought, used through brilliant writing talents.
ReplyDelete.... You should write a rap.
This was definitely a very unique blog. I have thought on this subject before, but never in quite the way that you wrote it. I think you raise very many interesting points.

Jill, I love the fact that you're not scared to say what's on your mind and heart. You just sent a message that we're all going to face at some point. It was a great blog.
