That Part

by Nicole M. - Gemini

My life has changed
  I have changed
Since I first started 
  participating here
I read over and over
   things I've thrown on here
Laughing at some of it
 Labeling it
     as crap
  and some of it
as pretty damn potent
And then I wonder
  if I'm even qualified
to be criticizing this
 I question
    whether I still possess
that detatched part of my head
    the part I believe
that wrote that pretty damn
  potent stuff
I wonder
  if the lack of consequences
and increase of medications
    bludgeoned it
from existance

Reason for writing:

    I'll be honest, since I started writing again, I question whether I am still the kind of poet I want to be.  Maybe I am fishing for comments from some of the seasoned posters I remember on here, telling me yah or na.  Maybe I'm looking for some second opinions.  But I know I don't trust my own opinion at the moment.
