[UnrealSickness]

Does anyone believe in "people who know how to write it never really lived it, and people who lived it don't know how to write it" when someone writes something sad, i wonder, did they really lived through this, or do they just made it up as a form of art

?

[carefulcarpenter]

@UnrealSickness How do you write about the other world when there are no words to really convey an unshared experience? How do you inspire someone to feel an emotion that someone has never had?

There is another world. There is an AVALON. Have you walked it?

[miss0324]

@UnrealSickness Thats a good question, which can have varying answers depending on the poet you talk to. I believe emotional pain is the same no matter what or who caused it. Everybody know's what "sad" is, and how being hurt feels but I think the talent of a poet is about channeling their own pain into words, other than just sad or hurt, in such a way that makes it beautiful. Sometimes its about empathy.For me, I write what I feel mostly from experience & sometimes from suffering I have seen

[onadietnow]

That was beautiful :)
