I suppose if I'm going to share anything here, I should probably just do it. I've been fighting against myself regarding that, so I'm just going to start putting things here until I suddenly realize that I shouldn't have done this. Yes, I am that self-deprecating.
Anyway, I used to write a lot more poetry and short stories than I do now -- in fact, I only recently began writing it again -- so I have quite a few things to share. Rather than doing it all at once, I suppose I'll just trickle pieces through here whenever it feels appropriate to do so.
I'd also just like to state that my writing tends to get very dark, and is often disturbing in some way. That's just meant as a casual warning in case anyone seeing this is somewhat sensitive to such things.
So... I guess with all of that said, I'll just post the poem I finished moments ago (at least, it feels finished to me -- unlike most writers, my finished content tends to be approximately 90% sewage written on a page and about 10% editing).
Edit: I just realized that I never stated my intent for this thread, which is apparently common here. I honestly don't care what you do or say about anything that I've written -- critique is welcome and highly encouraged, but so is abject humiliation. Interpretations are also very desirable, particularly if they're not what was intended; seeing things from different angles is always a learning experience.
