two very different beasts by eledriel
Added: 27.6.04

one weaves lovely tapestries of sentences comprised,
with threads of joy and sorrow,
and threads of hope and lies.

the other spits out garbage that they picked up on the street,
full of false love and tenderness
so trite and saccharine sweet.

one fills each word with meaning and pieces of their souls,
testimonies of their thoughts,
statements of their dreams and goals.

the other chooses randomly the words they think sound best,
full of feigned depth and meaning,
fake anger and unrest.

one writes to tell the world about the way they feel,
they write about what they observe,
each word of it is real.

the other writes about the shit the public buys,
they write fiction more or less,
a pack of empty lies.

the first beast writes for self expression;
the second beast for pride.
now the biggest question is,
which of the two am i?
