LJ Idol, Week 0: Introduction

[poppetawoppet]

Because sestinas are AWESOME


My life is pretty simple,
my days are much the same.
It's my brain noise that's complicated,
anxiety, self doubt, and blame.
I hope to write of many things,
And outlast everyone in this game.

I've never been a great player of games:
I like to keep it simple.
The only problem is that it keeps things
too predictable, and then it all feels the same.
I have only myself to blame:
I tend to run from anything complicated.

My though process is complicated,
it loves to play those games.
It especially likes to find some way to give myself the blame.
It is really quite simple:
my thoughts tend to be the same,
and run down familiar paths, and cling to familiar things,

and then I focus on those things,
and make them too complicated.
Very often times it's so much the same,
like watching an old recording of a long ago game,
when everything seemed so simple,
and I didn't know who to blame.

There really isn't anyone to blame
for any of these ancient things,
because my mind has taken the simple,
and made it all too complicated.
The longer I play the game,
You'll notice I'll say the same

But if I always write the same,
I'll only have myself to blame.
I won't be playing a very good game.
So I'll try to write of many things,
and keep my styles varied and complicated.
Or sometimes even simple

Now that I've said the same words over and over, and discussed not so many things,
I won't blame you for over-looking me, sestinas can be complicated.
I wish you nothing but the best this game, and hope that Gary keeps it simple
