Poetry

Something I hold very dear to my heart is writing poetry. Writing for me is an outlet that allows everything to flow and move through me. Poetry helps me to work through things that I can't quite put my finger on and perhaps needed to look at more deeply and internally. I write in a journal quite often but poetry is another voice for me, one that allows my emotions to be placed in a tangible form and can possibly leave a mark on a significant time in my life. I started writing poetry when I was very young and somewhere along the way I placed it down for a multitude of reasons, more commonly called life. I used to write poetry because it just called to me and because I enjoyed how I was able to convey things I didn't really know how else to say. My poetry was for me and me alone, like a childhood diary that I wouldn't dare share within anyone else. However, since picking up writing poetry again I have actually started to consider my writing to be a very sacred act. Now that I am in a very different place in my life, more awake and aware I can see how poetry assists and allows me to be my most authentic and vulnerable self. Writing about anything that happens to be swirling around in my mind whether positive, negative or indifferent, is an outlet that I have truly come to cherish. To be honest, I used to worry heavily that my poetry wouldn't ever be good enough for anyone else to read. I actually believed my writing to be far from worthy of publishing or even posting on any platform for others to see. Now I see my creative writing as something completely different. I have found through the healing I have done as well as the self love and empowerment I have given myself that I shouldn't be focused on what anyone else thinks. So long as it makes me happy, my poetry will be created and shared with the world. I also believe that sharing in a way that is dripping with authenticity may help someone else take the step into creative writing as well.

I have truly been enjoying the time I give myself to write and it's feeling like all of that time has brought out many beautiful creations straight from my heart. I've been thinking about it for quite some time now and decided that I would love to start placing some of my poetry here on the blog for anyone to read and enjoy. I thank you in advance for being open to reading my work and possibly sharing with someone you know. Like I said, my poetry is based on things that swirl around in my head so it may be about love or nature one day and about society or belief systems on another. Anyway, that's just a little heads up from Me. Expect my poetry coming your way very soon. So, take care and have beautiful days and even more beautiful nights.

Love,

Fayth
