I prefer an angry audience at least they aren't asleep.
here's the thing joe. we all know that's disingenuous. we're all human beings and we all love positive affirmation.
so then the question is what would compel you to say something like that? it's a defence mechanism. it's a classic childhood thing of "i'm not playing any more" if they don't win.
you're frightened to be honestly assessed for who you are and what you produce, so you decide to try and make people angry so that you can hide behind the facade of "i'm a truth teller and they can't handle it maaaaan".
so enough of the nonsense joe. talk to me like a real human being. engage in a conversation. a give and take. not a debate. a conversation in which neither of us is antagonistic towards the other or even disagreeing.
what inspired you to write poetry?
