I feel like it is appropriate to explain why I need to take a break from posting on this blog.
The major source of inspiration for my poems is everything that is wrong with this world. I can only have so much of that enter and leave my mind in a given period of time. Recently I’ve been going through the final and worst stages of my split from my now ex. It means there’s a lot of words to choose and rhyme patterns to glue them together but not enough to keep my emotional state stable.
There isn’t a large group of people who read this, but there are some. And I feel like it is better to avoid leaving people in the dark if for a week or maybe longer than that I don’t post anything new.
I really enjoy writing, don’t get me wrong, but it takes a lot out of me mentally. Revisiting the negative times in my life is very painful. And that pain is only made worse by my current situation.
Sympathy won’t help me, and I don’t want it. I don’t need it.
Sorry to the people who like reading what I write if anyone looks forward to new configurations of words from me.
When I post again it’ll be when things are better.
– Niko
