I really wanted to post something today but I trashed everything I wrote. It was just one of those frustrating days when none of the words seemed to come out right. And then I wrote this…
Shy and awkward
In silence by your side
I want to speak
But I am terrified
I am desperate
To speak what’s in my heart
But I’m near you
And my thoughts fall apart
I’m brave and strong
In my dreams every night
I find courage
In my head when I write
I have the words
For every emotion
For love for hate
For hope and devotion
But speaking them
Is difficult for me
I have this love
Dying to be set free
Maybe a note
A hand-written letter
To tell you how
You have made me better
I’ll find a way
Because you need to know
I adore you
You’ve changed my heart and soul
what sandra thinks 
Wonderful. Is this from you to John? 😉

Haha. You’re funny. Oh… that wasn’t a joke, was it? But… no. (And this reminds me — I really have to finish the ‘how I met their father’ series!) In my head, this is actually a message to a person who inspired me but I’ve never been able to tell him…

You went from not thinking you could write poetry a couple months ago, to writing it regularly and very well I might add!

Thanks for such kind words! It’s so strange — I didn’t think I’d be good at or enjoy writing poetry… but I’ve found that it helps me on days like yesterday when everything else I wrote seemed like crap! 🙂

And it seems to happen sometimes that the ones I think are not-so-good magically get more reaction and response than the ones I thought were better! We are too self-critical. Perhaps it’s best to assume every word we write is perfect! Haha 🙂

Happens to me all the time. That shows us that we can be too critical of our work. Haha. Let us assume that and wait for the reaction.

This is writer’s block. You’re forcing, but it’ll come. Try new music or something to jump start your mind.

Like I’ve told before , if this is what you come up with , when you can’t write …;)
And I feel like it could have been written by me as a 15-year old if I could write – then or now 😉

Oh, so I write like a 15 year old now, huh? Thanks a lot! 😀 😀 Hahahaha.. Sorry, couldn’t resist making that joke.
And thank you (for real). 🙂
It seems that when words won’t come for fiction or other stuff, they still kind of come for poetry… which is weird since I only just started writing poetry and other than on others’ blogs, I don’t even read it!

Thank you again. Your comments have made my day. I never thought I was a poet — before I tried it, I wrote fiction… and anything else I felt like writing. Then I took I just took the online poetry course on a whim to try it a month or two ago. (I forget exactly when!)
