The lost writings of Jim Morrison
Volume 2
If the first poets were singers, Jim Morrison brought poetry back to its roots, unscrolling an extended song of rootlessness, violence , and Dionysian sensuality on record, in concert, and in his private notebooks. Like the earlier volume Wilderness, The American night presents Morrison's previously unpublished writings in their truest form. The book includes the complete text of the legendary performance pieces "An American prayer", "Celebration of the lizard", and "The soft parade" ; the lyrics to such songs as "Moonlight drive", "soul kitchen" and "The End" a tantalizing excerpt from an un produced screenplay called "The Hitchhiker"; and poems culled from Morrison's journals. With their nightmarish images, bold associative leaps, and volcanic power of feeling, these works are the unmistakable products of their author's great, wild voice and heart.
She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers.
I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism.
I really hope none of you relate with any of these :)
I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can.
The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day.
