Wow, great stuff. The writing is easy to understand yet deep and relatable. Sometimes people form superficial impressions about certain paths without knowing the whole, dark truth. How difficult it can be sometimes. This poem captures the terrible feelings of loneliness, regret, and more experienced well.
thank you, @revitellect for your thoughtful response. Oftentimes the secret to good writing comes down to getting your own pain.
I agree, I think sometimes artists, also actors, can get frustrated because people just don't understand what they are trying to convey. Maybe that is what happened to Jim Carrey. And that is why now in interviews he says stuff like "I don't exist". And he grew a long beard which I think he know shaved for his new TV show.
Oh, yeah. Good point. Sometimes there can be a gap between what an artist wants to convey and what the audience understands, as you mentioned. Oh, I didn't know Jim Carrey was like that now. Sad. Thanks for sharing. :)
Yeah but sometimes that can be a good thing too... https://steemit.com/writing/@pjcswart/the-multiple-interpretations-of-the-catcher-in-the-rye
