inspiration
is right here,
all around me.
a conversation with a good friend reminded me of that tonight.
this post is dedicated to all the inspiring people in my life who are "on the verge of...something big" as my friend put it.
you all continue to amaze me in ways you may never know.
I cry when I think about how incredible life can be. if I let it. even with the shit.
and that's beautiful.
shukran suheir for kicking my ass into unleashing the real poet. not the one I came as, but the one I was holding back. the one i'm becoming. and believe me, I am dressing for life.

HI,
For me the writing is a compulsion and even so it's so hard to bare feelings in a poem. And it's really hard to then reveal that work and those feelings to the world.
I recently posted a couple of my poems and it was agonizing just hitting the post button. Thankfully I had a few positive comments which releaved my anxiety a bit.
So just keep writing, even when its's scary to do so.And I guess this translates to being who we are as people, it's hard to really be yourself and then push the post button and present yourself to the world, but it's worth it.
Thanks for your post.
Word yourself...and likely on the verge of many big things.
Hi P.Q.,
Sorry I didn't see a email address, would you mind reading something I wrote and let me know what you think? I'm really kind of new to writing and I'd like to know your thoughts about it.

thanks for your comment laura luna.
mes deaux cents,
in your earlier comment you said "it's so hard to bare feelings in a poem". and i wanted to respond to that by saying that i FULLY feel you. it's really difficult to reveal the most intense, personal, painful, or really any kind of emotion to readers. it's scary as shit.
it's so so crucial as a poet to do exactly that. to not just *talk about feelings* but to really *show* them. that's something i've been working real hard on. it's difficult but it's important cuz i want readers to feel. i want to be present in my poem. i want that feeling to be genuine and not just wordplay. but i also fear putting myself out there. mainly because i think i fear dealing with my own emotions. seeing them on paper like that makes everything that much more real.
but when i think of my favorite writers they are the ones that made me feel for real. they let me in to feel something they'd felt. and nothing is more beautiful than that for me.
i just commented on your beautiful poem. and if you want further discussion around this stuff i'd be down.
I just love Suheir too. Her writing is so powerful.
couldn't agree with you more margaret.
Thanks, I really like that Suheir piece. I hadn't heard it before.
