There is a bright side
to being broken and hurt

Without all the pain
One wouldn't be able to express anything
to the world

Through Poetry

sometimes you just
gotta sit down and write
just grab the apple
and take a bite
just take a leap
into the dark night

if you want to be a poet
you gotta write poems
let the words go
wherever the wind blows em

sometimes your lines will ****
other times blow you away
but stay firm on that writing path
don't be led astray
by laziness and perfectionism
saying you can't do it
don't give in, knock em down
push yourself right through it

let the poem be what it is
let its rhymes ring true
knowing as much
as you're writing the poem
it's also writing you
success comes
through failure
improvement comes
through the grind
go ahead
write bad poems
they'll make you better
in due time

We died in the middle of life
Faded away silently
And the earth‘s motion continued
Because we are not the world.

Is a poet still a poet
If they do not write?

A journal gathering dust,
But a yearning to write.
Am I still a poet
Without my inner light?
I'm sorry I haven't written a while! Love you all

what is being brought

forth saves at it destroys--

the sky's eyes are flickering.

passing away in stateless

states.

We are strangers
Glancing at the same words
Written down
But seeing different worlds
In our poems
