I have so many notebooks of writes,
so many personal and dark
So much has changed in this past
year, like someone set off a spark
Although I have shared some sadness
and hurt with you all
I no longer feel that heavy burden
nor feel like I'm facing a brick wall
I was encouraged by someone to write
as often as I could--that eased my pain
Now I smile and laugh a lot more
and I can easily see my gains
I'll look back to my dark poetry
to help me reflect and grow
Who knows? Someday I might go back there
But right now I'm happier than you know

Love it ! Good writing happy writing I am glad for you !
Thanks Bill! Much appreciated!
Great uplifting write - now how about writing a whimsical piece - say a limerick or something similar - what is life without a smile?
I will look into that! Thanks for the suggestion!
A fine write C. Go back to the dark readings if you wish, if it helps any time. I would probably prefer non-dark readings myself.
Nope, I'm gonna try happy poems for a while!
I hope you’ll never go back to the dark ones...
but, as you said,
it’s a good reminder of what
you have now!
Looking back makes us appreciate
what we have now!
A great write!
Thank you for sharing!

Youre very good at reflective and self searching writes...hood stuff☺💛
Thanks so much Av!! It's appreciated and thanks for saving as a fav!
Me too I am happy for you, Christina! If writing makes you happy and helps ease your burden, that is so much better than what other people use, such as alcohol, uppers, etc.
I actually had a smile on my face when reading your poem! Which goes to show, you are not only making yourself happier, you are spreading that happiness around!
Fred, thank you so much, that in turn made ME smile! I really appreciate your kind words. More than you know! Thanks again!---Christina
