I'm always who I am. So my family is embarrassed of me, most people despise me (in person anyway), and I've spent years being told I was crazy.
So to me, being open about what I'm thinking is no more wrong than being open about being a man or a woman, or black, or white, or gay, or straight, or young or old, or anything.
One day I'll be dead. And none of it will matter. But for now, it matters. And the more it matters the less pointless life is.
And I'm pretty new to forums, myself. The truth is: I've been writing for about two decades, and I've never before now talked to any other actual/serious poets.
