This doesn't strike me as melodramatic . . . it just strikes me as an honest expression of the chaos and challenge of being human! Thank you for sharing your beautiful poem and beautiful self, Karri. "I'd love to find an even keel / whilst spinning on this color wheel" - you and me both!
Thank you for bringing your angst to us! "Whilst spinning on this color wheel" is such excellent imagery, even though I bet it's making you dizzy. Hoping for a calming soon for you, Karri!
No worries Karri! I feel we write from where ever we are at. That is poetry in all its flavors and colors! And I love this poem. This is what melodrama can feel like, nothing stable, ongoing change. Yep, "I'd love to find an even keel. Whilst spinning on this color wheel."
I echo what A. has said. Poetry, writing, art and music are wonderful places for our angst, anxiety, doubts and fears. I am glad you are in this space, Karri. Thank you for your honest and heartfelt poem. тЭдя╕П
No forgiveness necessary. Your angst and melodrama are as welcome as all the rest of you! And this is such a relatable feeling, this back and forth of all or nothing. I hope things level out a bit for you soon.
Y'all I am so f'ing angsty lately....forgive the melodrama!!
What will my world look like today?
Vibrant colors or shades of gray?
I cannot find an in between
The blandest grays and the most vivid greens.
Technicolor or black and white?
Brightest day or darkest night?
I'd love to find an even keel.
Whilst spinning on this color wheel.
