I've always thought that when saying something, mean it. Don't say something and mean something else. This is why I've hated and loved analyzing poetry. It was so beautiful how they worded words and you could have no idea what they're really talking about, nonetheless it was beautiful. I didn't understand, or could really put into words, that poetry really is kind of a vague mess. Writers of poetry put what they mean in as many or least words as possible to ambiguously show their real meaning of their whole message. I hated not understanding what I was reading. Understanding but not knowing, I guess. And then again, when I write my poems I do it in the same pattern. Patterns. Patterns. Patterns. Is that what the world is about? Mere patterns. When you understand something, is that the only thing you're understanding? Is that a one thing you just figured out a puzzle piece in a whole puzzle? Poetry really is beautiful.
