    Hang In There

    Dear me,   there are so many things to say... and not enough words to express them... assuming you even have time to process.   I know what evil lurks in your shadows... the monsters haunting your thoughts... stalking your every terrified breath   I can assure you... there are...

    • I needed to read this today willow. This hit the right spot.

    • Awesome, and very relatable.
      Actually, I was telling Del earlier that I want to work on something called “Book Of Scars”. Looks like you beat me to it! Maybe I will, still. But I don’t know if I can not be influenced by your write here. That’s okay!
      I had some “issues” when I was a kid. But, as I got older, I realized that I would indeed outlive the demons. And I have. I am extremely mentally tough, for whatever reasons. Yet I do have a part of me that still feels the good out there. Perhaps that is why I enjoy your writes as much as I do. It’s real and easy to relate to.

      • The Rattle the Bones series is something I felt I needed to do…for me. I’ve shared bits and pieces of my trauma, but I’ve always been careful to not share chronologically. It’s time to “tell my story” from the beginning, in order. I can’t say it was a pleasant experience, writing and sorting it all out, but it’s done. I can’t share them all at once, so it’s gonna take some time to get them out in the atmosphere. I’m glad to hear you’re considering writing your story. I don’t believe we’re strong because of our trauma, I believe we’re still here because of our strength. Not everyone makes it out intact. If there’s one thing humans share unilaterally, it’s the experience of pain. Write your series, I’ll be here for it

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Another excellent write with lots of layers, but also wisdom and guidance my friend. Using one’s voice to heal instead of lashing out.. Hit me like a bag of sledgehammers with this one. The letter format was a cool choice that fit the vibe and your musical accompaniment is precise. Below is the part that struck a chord inside me. Amazing read/listen as always. Thanks for sharing your story.. Appreciate you, Sis.

      “your voice is your strongest weapon

      I know the urge will be to finally lash out

      don’t

      use it to heal…

      to share how you feel…

      you’re not alone

      trust me…

      I know

      with all my love…

      me”

      • This was a piece that I wrote for a challenge on the old site, write a letter to your younger self. It eventually went on the cover of my book. I think there’s power in knowing how strong your expression is. With power comes responsibility. Use it with compassion and understanding. It’s a very healing way to use one’s power, I think. Thank you, bro. I’m glad this one resonated

    • I love this! Writing letters to ourselves is the most authentic poetry in my opinion.
      Sometimes we write to find others who can relate but sometimes it’s meant for ourselves – to find our own sense of inner peace, self worth, all of it.
      Again, I love this.
      Keep on keeping on chica:)

      • This was written as an entry into a challenge on the old site, to write to our younger self. There was only one thing I really wanted to say, so I stuck to that thought. Talk about crying like a baby when I wrote it. 🙈 I’m glad you enjoyed this one 😊

    What Is Poetry?

    They ask me, what is poetry?Is it just words on paper?Is it memories,written and then saved for later? Poetry is much more than we know.When words in your mind flow,but you can't say them.And so,poetry comes to help. Rhymes and rows...
