The freedom to create is a gift, a joy. For me, to express how I feel through poetry and other writings, remains the connection between my heart and my dreams. Love, conflict, danger, excitement…fuel for the imagination. Inspiration surrounds us everyday.
I write when I feel sad or lost, depressed and sometimes when I’m happy. I’m inspired by the world going on around me. It’s not always good, but there is so much happening, sometimes it’s hard to process. That’s when I find writing most theraputic. I’m also inspired by my friends, their lives, their happiness and sadness. I feel in a way I’m not only allowing my own voice to be heard through my writings, but I can also be a voice to others.
As you can see, I love poetry. It’s truly my passion. Alot of what is posted here, I wrote years ago. Most are probably dark and desperate but the feelings behind them all still feel like yesterday.
I suffer from severe depression. I also have many other mental handicaps…almost zero confidence in myself, distorted view of my physical being, feeling pure hatred when I probably have no right. I struggle everyday as so many others do. I cause pain to myself and the thoughts are there everyday. But one thing I do know and believe in with all my heart, I have things yet to say and share with those who care to bear them with me.
My goal with this blog is to develop a better understanding of my own thoughts and passions. I hope to embrace the differences between myself and others that may read this blog. And I sincerely pray that even one person finds an ounce of peace through something I’ve written.
Thank you for reading. I wish you all well on your own journeys!
