keep trying ..

This is kinda where my mind has been lately. I recently took a lower paying, more physically demanding job just to access these very feelings. I just wanted feel what real living is like again. You’ll only get what you give, and many of us have to give a lot more just to get a little, but these are the conditions that shape the poet. Keep trying, and keep in mind that more people see you than you realize! Life is hard fkn work! But I know you know this, because you are a poet!!

Thankfully you, we all, have access to let it all out in writing. That is our strongest voice. God knows that creative writing really helped me become who I am. I still have a vocal glitch, that hits me whenever it wants, but it isn’t a handicap. I have learned to be confident regardless. Writing gives us a super power. You will win the battles Fia.
Awesome write.

Powerfully penned, Fia. Another excellent write with many deep layers my friend. This one has a musing vibe while turbulence is stirring beneath the surface. I concur with Mark. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you, Cuz.

Thank you for this encouraging writing, dear Fia!
Settling with what you have already achieved, means standing still. But trying again and again, getting up after falling and trying anew is a brave way of progress and self development. Only doing so you can reach out for the stars!

A good write

An awesome write by an awesome writer, if I do say so myself! I’m happy that you decided to post something in here! You’re needed! And this isn’t really a dark write, my dear. I get more of a vibe of searching for a solution to a frustrating moment, yeah? Anyway, I love the message you carried consistently throughout the poem. It moves along fluidly and keeps the reader spellbound to the end. Well done, my love!
Hey, get some sleep!

Beautifully penned, Adel. Another excellent write with lots of layers my friend. I concur with Mark, I don’t think it’s a dark write, it does have a mysterious vibe though. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

Hi Gus!

It’s so wonderful to hear from you. Yes I did! Willow is a rock star so her ode gave me an extra skip in my step. Haha
I am so honored to have an Amsterdam fan base which would not be possible without you and your talent! No joke. You rock on that guitar amigo!
As for the write I had not been on for a while and decided to post something. I’ve been busy finishing the first draft of my book! So excited for the future:). Life is a true blessing.
Thanks for stopping by and for the read.
Give Amsterdam a huge hello and thank you from me!

Well hello Tim!

Thank you so much for stopping by for a comment. It’s been a while since I came on so thank you.
How have you been! Still drumming along I hope. Haha
Yes, I wanted it to have a witch doctor vibe to it.

My grandmother would always give us blessings if she knew we were having night terrors or having really horrible luck. It was her way of trying to help you. I look back at it now and realized how much power she gave her faith.
I struggle with that sometimes but other times I’ve realized it’s all you got amigo:)

Stay cool Tim!,

There’s definitely nothing dark about this one, girl. This one rolls out almost spiritually. Whether pagan calling to their priestess or spirit calling to her inner priestess…this hits beautifully. We have entered “spooky girl” season and it’s time to bring out the fun stuff indeed! I’m not much good at spooky, but maybe I can try my hand in honor of the month. 🙌

I love that you chose a positive message to write of. There is never enough of that. So thank you! And the write is well crafted, full of inspiring lines to lift the reader up. Great idea and great result, Fia.

Great thoughtful writing Fia.
💋

Powerfully penned, Fia. Another excellent write with lots of deep layers my friend. Nicely done. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you, Cuz.

This does have a positive feel to it.
You never know, sometimes acknowledging someone who’s struggling could impact their day in a positive way.
One could only hope!

I think that too often people know it’s a mask, but they want to believe it’s reality. Because having to see what makes them uncomfortable is more than they’re willing to take on. So we paste on the smile and say we’re fine, and they eagerly choose to believe it so they don’t have to acknowledge the truth. I love that the message in this is to see beyond the surface

Ten out of ten

This is so good. I mean,,,I love the flow of it

Beautifully penned, Mark. Another excellent write with clever wordplay and outstanding storytelling my friend. I concur with Fia, it has a rhythm and a flow to it. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.

Damian

Talk about manifesting…this is a solid BOOM in the way of rhythm, movement, and expression. And here y’all are now…still living that hoped for day. 😊

I was smiling so much reading this that my heart ached!
You are everything I hoped you’d be plus more.
I also remember this picture! You used it on DUP too!

How blessed I feel at this moment, so many years later.
Remembering all the darkest of nights
and the glow of every early morning
Together bound in a discovery of words
Describing how you completely loved me:)

Love you!!

Thank you Tim. I don’t mess with rhyming ones much anymore. But when I do, I want them to be as good as I can make them. I appreciate it when someone lets me know that the efforts are worth it.

A fire of feeling. Great write.
Regards
James

Thank you James. I do enjoy creative writing, and hopefully it shows in my results. As the same for you, quality in your words as well.
