This is almost a cautionary tale. One never knows how life will go when someone you once imagined as a safe haven and one so desired disappears. Well done, Wally.

Very true Tim. Sometimes unrequited or absent love makes for poetry with depth and longing.
Thank you for reading and commenting.

Read MoreI was recently told that my writing "is shit" and that I should "just quit." While I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet, it has completely undermined my self-confidence and ability to write. I'm not looking for...

Hey, I do not know who told you that, but they are wrong. Your writing is inspiring and emotional. If you like what you have written, then they have no right to tell you that your work is shit. WTF. I swear, when is everyone going to see that we are all individuals and we express our thoughts in our own way? I swear that comment just triggered some PTSD in me.
The absolute gall to say that. My god!
I normally reach out to people when I can, but this has been a very busy time. I will state this again: I embrace the individuality that is you and everyone. Let’s respect one another here. If not here, then you know you have a safe space here to write what you need.-

By all means take a break but do so on your terms.When we put ourselves out there we risk the judgement of others.That should not stop you.
Didn’t stop Picasso or Dali or Neruda or countless others whose talent was rejected by the mainstream.-

Take your time, Willow. Who ever told you that is a straight up liar and also knows nothing about writing my friend. You’re a powerful voice and writer and there are people here in this community that know. I know I’m not the only one that knows that here on Stars. Do what you gotta do, you and your voice will be missed my friend. Be safe and we await your return. Appreciate you.

It’s been a journey, and it isn’t done yet. But I need to be with my community. The rest of healing can occur over time. Thank you for standing by me, my friend

Wrong move. Don’t back off now. Now is the time to push your stuff hard into this site

It was never about what was said to me. It was about how I took it on board. To get right in my head and back on my feet, I had to step away and analyze why it hit me so hard. It should also be noted that the person who said it was not on Stars Rite. Thank you

Your poetry is wonderful. Don’t let idiots bring you down. Everyone is so hateful these days. Some people don’t feel good unless they are bringing others down. Honestly when I get criticism it usually makes me want to write more. Poetry is a reflection to the soul. At least that’s how I feel about it. There’s no wrong way.
I do get it though. Writing is discouraging these days. It just doesn’t feel the same for me. Maybe because I miss my DUP friends. Maybe I just don’t have the time like before. You shouldn’t feel like your words don’t have meaning though. They do and they are good because they are your soul.

Unfortunately, the biggest idiot I was struggling against was my own internal voice. Little bastards can tear us down worse than anyone else. It’s going to take me a bit to get caught up, but I’m back. Thank you, Thomas

Hey there Willow, we write mostly for ourselves. We have a NEED to express in artistic ways how we see the world, each other, ourselves; to communicate!! This need is as natural and beautiful as Spring rain. And for those of us who love the rain, are not afraid of getting wet, who want to see and experience the world through others’ eyes, welcome your words and the music found in them.
To the person who said this to you I say: FUCK YOU! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ART IS, AND FOR. YOU ARE NOT ONLY AN ARROGANT ASS, BUT INHUMAN AS WELL.
Willow, I enjoy reading your words, listening to the words and music. In my opinion, you are an artist, have value as an artist and more importantly as a person, and, through your art contribute to what’s good in human beings. I hope you know this and internalize it.

It’s taken me a minute to remember. I’m grateful the person who said it wasn’t part of this community. But they hit a very tender nerve at exactly the wrong moment and I crashed out. I had to take a step back and remember who I am, where I’ve been, how far I’ve come and how strong I am. I write to heal and to connect. But even giants have a weakness, and I’m no giant. Thank you so much for your words and your support, Curt. It means a lot to me

This drifts between tenderness and urgent intensity, capturing the physical and emotional in a way that’s intimate without being flashy. I love how the language makes the body feel like both terrain and vessel, with every moment earned and alive.

Chère F.,
You are being rather harsh on yourself, labelling this as 17. Or you are living in a different part of the world.This kind of love making I learned/learnt from another beautiful lady.
I can only hope that I can get you to rub off on me the way to describe it the way you do.
This is almost French by nature. You can get away with most everything, as long as you mind your language.Needless to say I love it to bits!
Warm regards, Gus-
