A Poet's Bleeding Heart🖤📜🪶

I have been a writer all my life. Truly, from the moment I could pick up a pen to the time I learned to read: I have been pouring my soul out onto paper, smearing it and covering my fingers in ink and vulnerability as I attempt to articulate the ocean of emotion that crashes and flows through me.

I have never shared my writing in any kind of public setting... this is certainly new.
But.
A little encouragement, a little push, and it's wonderful the things I am willing to do to step outside my comfort zone!

I have found that I love reading others blogs, even more so when they act as a mirror. I get so lost in the words and soul of another, it's cathartic. It's the feeling of being "seen", "understood".
It's the "you are not alone"

I have been told my writing is well received most of the time, though, even if it weren't, I'd still want to share if for no other reason but the hope ONE person reads it and thinks "I am not alone."
