Conundrum. I have this urge to write poetry outside of the big ol’ poetry-diary-journal thing I’ve been writing, but my emotions seem inextricably tied into anything I write. I had a teacher once tell me that my writing sometimes went too deeply into my emotions, to the point of making reading the poem kind of uncomfortable. Anyway, in this case, I want to write a poem to be able to share it, but feel like I wouldn’t be comfortable doing so on account of the same rawness and privacy that accompanies the journal. So…I guess this paragraph is what gets put here for the moment instead of a poem.
