Hoping, accepting, connecting
Is this state of mind a choice?

Gloomy, shadowy
Depression

I get it. I’ve had the same thoughts about posting. If I say what I think, those who should see those thoughts won’t. Keeping writing real for me means focusing on my writing needs. Good luck and thank you.

Have you ever tried Canva? It’s free and I always use it when the shape of my poem is important. Just a thought. Writing certainly causes us to experience a plethora of emotions, doesn’t it. Keep writing! — Christie

The first one-
The word expansive made me appreciate how the shape of the poem did expand and then contract as the doubts entered , leading to silence. And the word debating- how much harm we can do by debating ourselves when we should just be.
The diamanté form really adds to both your poems.
I hope you are well and just exploring depression ❤
