Post Pre Post 11172008a

As promised here's my post that inspired me to do this:

Knowing not of the audience, I write 11112008

I know not the reader of this and I don't want to be classified as any type of poet because it would be a disgrace to their passion and livelihood. But I do think that everyone has the power to produce something poetic from some non-specific event, situation, anomaly, or phenomenon. Mine came tonight, amidst the many thoughts that raped my brain about things that I dare not speak about here. Seeking out my faithful consort, I found a bit of relief and hope in the lyrics of Madonna's 'Justify My Love' and 'Human Nature'

'Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another'

'Express yourself don't repress yourself'

She uses a the same tone in both songs that runs parallel to subconscious. To my subconscious. The one that I have been afraid to shine light on. The inner voice that I have been quieting for a time that seems to be an eternity. If that is too long a period, I will settle for a majority of my life. From the time I have followed, conformed, and submitted to the time that I was made aware of the many social and media constructs that put me in that situation, to now. I have been repressing and hiding it for so long. I think that it is time I listened to this omnipresent force that has been speaking to me for so long.
