The unbelievable IP 9.9.11

A real little character sketch here Pia - very `believable'.

Great Coral thank you very much for telling me- glad you thought it was believable...

Unbelievably believable, Pia;-)

Seriously though, can identify with this one...a lot.

Tina

Well then she is not alone ;D Thanks Tina

;)Pia

I guess she isn't, Pia;-)

You know Tina- alot of my poetry is about myself- as you probably have percieved but until today I always thought I was abit too much alone with my crookedness. I guess I may be returning to a better and more inspiring world where everything isn't revolving around my own navel and I won't have to get hung up about it. Maybe I can write some better poems then. I'd like that.
I'm so glad that you can relate to a lot I have written as I now know in hindsight and I also can relate to what you write about but human nature is very complicated. Sometimes I just wish I couldn't think and just enjoy.
You know lighten up a bit.

You're right, Pia...human nature sure is complex, and I guess I've stopped trying to analyse myself and just accept the status quo. I'll never change, I know that now, but what I do try to do is stop beating myself up about it. And then, on those days, when I truly achieve something I'm proud of, albeit small, I give myself a metaphorical pat on the back;-)

Hey, and Pia, you're quite some person. Believe that, and you're more than halfway there...and now I seem to have come full-circle back to your poem.

Tina;-)

Hi Pia,

this deep meaningful piece, speaks of normal emotional, human feelings that each one of us
feels at some point in our lives.

I think that what you write, is what we all feel,
but you dare to write, that is a challenge in
itself. I take my hat off to you, for being
honest, as you have in this great IP.

Good read.

Jenny.

Thank you for your kind words Jenny. I really appreciate your thoughts on this poem.

I loved this Pia. I don't have internet installed in my new flat yet so I've finally managed to get access in a library and man, I'm glad I did. There's such a genuine feel to this piece and the speaker, I could see her "living" in some other pieces of writing as well.

Libraries are wonderful places aren't they Maggy? I shoulod know- I am a librarian by trade..

Thank you for your words. Yes she lives and breathes a lot in writing.. ha ha but she has decided to change things a bit to the more believable.. hehe

;)Pia

I like this. I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting and expecting two opposite things at the one time (eg wanting success and expecting failure) that's what makes us human. I think you nailed it down with your opening with the coffee.

Thanks for reading Celtic- glad you got this from it.. Yeah I think it is a pretty ordinary feeling just as long as you don't let it get too serious... ;D

;)Pia

I think I know someone like that.

Yeah Cormacru- I think we all do

I identified with this very well written piece very much. I am exactly like this - though these days I veer too much on the side of being too afraidd of change. I have learnt, as I get older, that change isn't necessarily always a good thing!Really nice one Pia. I wish I could stop staring at my navel! It's not healthy.

Hi OTT- I wish I could stop staring at MY navel. I tend to become a bit disgruntled. If you read Celtic's comment I think you would realize as I did also with your comment- that we are pretty normal people with pretty normal feelings. I always thought I was too self-absorbed but I seem to have the same feelings as a lot of others so I am going to change my confessional poetry into something a bit more inspiring- (when I get inspired.. ;D)

Thank you very much for your wonderful comment and for stopping by to read this.

Hope I get inspired soon- it's got to be a wacker..
