Hi all.

Encouraged by 2 fab community members to create this new topic. Hope you like.
Thought this could be a nice space to share some of the poems we have written and inspire each other with our creativity. Poems are a way for me to voice whats going on in my head especially when my anxiety has left me feeling somewhat foggy headed.

Hope you enjoy reading and sharing your work.

Pennywren 😊

@Mi-Amigo lovely words. Paints a lovely picture in my head. 

darkness

There is pain in my heart, 

Where do I start?

I only wanted to help,

You threw that back at me.

It hurt what you said.

I try to help,

You fight me.

This darkness blossoms,

My heart cold.

The ache is real,

You said things,

Things that can't be unsaid.

My blood runs cold.

I care thats who I am

I care too much.

It always bites me somehow. 

At night I feel it keenly 

The darkness on the edge of my mind.

The fear swallow me.

I curl up,

I cry, but you don't care. 

Sorry darker poem. Am hurting 😥

I feel for you. However, your ability to put into words how you are feeling is astonishing. Be proud of that and I hope in some way it lessens the pain to post your words on here

It helps. Am no good at talking about how I feel yet it cones easier in poem form.

So sorry you are hurting. You have an amazing ability of expressing your feelings in words and I hope that goes some way to helping ease the pain. You have no reason to apologise for a "darker" poem.

Thank you for sharing it.

Its daft ....I can't talk about how I feel but it cones easier in poems. The words create a picture to me about how I feel. The screen a canvas, the poem my way of expressing what I can't say out loud

[Mi-Amigo]

I don`t see anything "daft" @Pennywren 

I see a mindscape in words and a tapestry of thoughts as expressive as the craftwork you create, all of which you should be proud.

@Mi-Amigo thank you.
Recently poetry is the only true way to express myself. Cant voice anything when things hurt so in written form its relief

The pain, the anguish, inside a head
As poems emerge, here to be read
On phone
Not alone
All read in awe, you have street cred!

Keep writing, rhyming, soliloquising,
In verse and stanza, feelings disguising;
Keep your cool
Nobody's fool!
All here read you, it's unsurprising.

T'is the force of limerick
Written here, double quick!
Feelings out
Roundabout
Keep on writing, make it stick!

@Mi-Amigo  loves to riff, 
@Anonymous also wiv'
That @pgn! 
And @Pennywren?
It's great, says @Cleoriff!
