Stream of Consciousness #9

WOW, only 9. I have been slipping. Well, I tried to type a poem into here called War on the Moon not too long ago, but I couldn't think of NOTHING for that so I just gave it up. (i was trying to go off two random facebook suggestions about something to write) Anyway, I guess I have been soul searching for the past month. Some stuff that I didn't even want to explore openly so I chose not to write it up here. But I'm back on top of things now. About to start a new job. Just wrote two new poems. I guess I'll add those up here today. One them I actually just wrote today and I haven't even edited it yet so i guess I'll do that when I type it into the blog.
So, well, I just feel like writing this. I think too much. SERIOUSLY. I look into things too deeply pretty much 200 percent of the time. But... I feel like thats my strongest asset too. So I'm not sure how to correct it. Its more than just a gift and a curse. See, me, being all poetic, I look at my life as like the longest poem ever written. My Odyssey, my Iliad. I'm the epic hero in the poem, obviously. So this thinking too much thing, falling into form, is my super-human strength and my tragic flaw. (pride might be one of those flaw things too, lol) At any rate, I think it is what allows me to write as well as I do, but I think it hinders me from just making something happen sometimes. I'm so critical of my every move. I have so many affirmations and pep talks for myself, but I tend to allow myself to give up because I overthink things and decide they aren't the best move...
Same thing with girls. WOW. I dont even wanna get started on that. I have no girlfriend right now, but I want one. I'm the type of guy to have one. And only one. But now I gotta have like 5 just to fulfill the role of one because I cant find the right one. I cant find that one that feels like home.
Wow, shameless cheesy intro
But its true.
Check out this next poem, it'll be above this one. The one called "Home Sweet"
