the same words

how many times can i regurgitate the same sentiment

until my entire body of work looks like nothing but bile

an acidic feast for sore eyes that are tired of experiencing again

practice makes perfect

overpractice makes noise

hypercommon humming that becomes imperceptible

the steak i’ve been keeping is chewy and burnt

the cookies i’ve kneaded are dense like soft stones

all my ingredients are stale and wilting as the only ones i ever seem to keep

speaking in circles

rewriting what’s written

recursion redundancy regret and repeat

maybe i should kill the selfplagiarist within me

maybe i should still my unoriginal hand

maybe i need to be cut off from creating

maybe i’ve simply run out of words

maybe this ending is putridly predictable

an extended stanza that is plainly unsure

how many times can i vomit identical ideas

until all that i am is reduced to warm spew

the same words

The words I heard to describe you echo through my head

The same words I heard to describe you were often used for me instead

The words I heard you use to say god might as well be dead

The same words I heard you use to say you love me instead

If you think this is the vaguest samifer poem I wrote for this week than you are wrong, it actually makes me wonder if it's a good idea to publish them under the samifer week 2013 tag

I love my writing.

I love it more than anything else in the world, except for a handful of people, several of whom are actually characters I have written so they're just an extension of this whole writing thing that I am in love with.

I actually have a beautiful moment last night where I reread my novel and found the part where, mindblowingly, it got really *good*.

That said

I would like to start a drinking game for each time I use certain words.

It might not get me to stop using them, though it would certainly get me intoxicated.
