2021/7/20 #poetry Don't you wish you could have some certainty that your work was really original? It would be easier to keep going, the feeling that you were falling into cliche could be dispelled, and the refusal to continue in that vein could be avoided. I'm sure that I'm not pulling this from somewhere in my memory now but that doesn't give me any real confidence that it isn't the same work that someone, somewhere did before. A lot of people write a lot of stuff. It's fairly certain that your life and experiences are not that unique and your writing probably isn't either. You may be the first to publish, you may be the first to string all of those things together in that particular order, but that doesn't necessarily make it materially different from some other work. If you do produce a unique concept with your meatputer then you're still stuck with the framework of the language you use to express it. It can still end up sounding very similar to something else. No matter though, if you and the people you share it with aren't aware of any similar or substantially the same articles of media then it is unique enough.
Little lights poking through the deep dark sky. I make my home too far from it's clear view. Should I have the choice I'll go to a place away from the glowing city. To find that great crown of nightly glitter and wear it above my head with all of you.
