A place to show my work
Why do you blog?
I write a blog to feel more confident about expressing my thoughts and ideas and to share my work with others. It’s a place where I can show my creative and skilled side while connecting with people who have similar interests. A friend also encouraged me to do so. Also, when I blog, I get helpful feedback that helps me improve as a writer and creator.

Drawing is a way for me to relax when I am having anxiety.
I am able to take stop the thoughts that plaque my head.
With each stroke of the pencil, my worries start to fade,
Transforming onto paper, a beautiful escapade.
MAD
The never-ending battle of thoughts crashed through my head. Why can’t I stop them from
Invading my mind, like a relentless storm?
They swirl and they clash, leaving me in dismay,
I long for a moment of peace, for them to just go away.
But amidst the chaos, I find a glimmer of light,
A strength within to continue the fight.
I harness the power of my own inner calm,
And slowly but surely, I find a healing balm.

SCOFF
STUFF
SMOCK
Annie was in her smock, painting away,
Creating scenes of joy, in every stroke she’d convey,
All the stuff that she enjoys, her heart poured into art,
But then along came Agustus, with a scoff and a snarky remark.
Tears glistened in her eyes, as her enemy belittled her creation,
Her work was special and dear, a masterpiece in her imagination.

Writer’s Workshop Prompts for August 29, 2024
Here are the prompts for this week’s Writer’s Workshop:
This is my first time trying this, so we will see how it goes. I chose to do number 1: write a post based on the word request. So here goes…
I request that you stay true,
To the values that guide you,
May your heart be light and free,
As you dance through life with glee.
I request that you find peace,
In the moments of sweet release,
Let your spirit soar and fly,
Underneath the endless sky.

Had therapy today,
Started off rough but ended better.
Black cloud that was hanging over my head
Not fully gone away but is less.
Obtained skills to help through the struggle.
I learned I need to let the negative thoughts float away.
Sometimes the path is dark and unclear,
But a glimmer of hope appears near.
Therapy brings light and a guiding hand,
Easing the burden, helping me stand.
The black cloud may linger, but I’ll find my way,
Learning to let the negative thoughts float away.

PRIVACY
SUBDUED
BLINDED
I was blinded by my pride,
That you were true to me, I couldn’t abide,
Now I am subdued since you have ruined my reputation,
I yearn for privacy, which I feel that I will never have again.
MAD
Comrade and buddy,
Friend and confidant in one,
Pal for life’s journey.
Helps with your rougher times
And the blissful times as well…

I decided to wait until the end of the day to answer this question because I wanted to see if my feelings changed throughout the day, but unfortunately, they did not. I have many different emotions running through me right now. I feel like I am hindering a friend instead of helping. I feel anger for something that happened earlier this week, which I thought I was over, but I am in a funk from that and everything I have been going through the last couple of weeks. It is a good thing that I have therapy tomorrow. I usually come out of it in a better place, and I need that right now.
MAD
Yearning for a touch,
In solitude, seeking warmth,
Longing for closeness.
MAD
Cursing in anger,
Expletive of frustration,
Goddamn it all now.
Son of a biscuit eater
Make harsh moments easier…

Knowing without thought,
Instinct guiding the actions,
Intuitive feel.
Have faith and trust in your gut.
It hasn’t let you down yet…

Efforts never cease,
Striving towards what’s yet to come,
Trying to succeed.
Takes a lot of your gumption,
and sheer determination…

Ribbons in the wind,
Graceful arcs and loops that bind,
Gifts wrapped in beauty.
