Hello, My Poetry and Writing Friends!
Hello, my poetry and writing friends! How are you? I hope you are doing well! I am so glad you decided to visit my blog. I like to share my writing and poetry, and I would love to see your work (if you write)!
*
I have found a place where I feel more like I belong in the writing community. People want to build each other up, and people don’t seem to be concerned about things like looks or egos, like on the usual social media sites. I haven’t seen anyone being mean to anyone, and I hope it continues.
*
I know how cruel people can be and know that words hurt. I am still trying to let go of words that hurt me long ago. It’s not that I haven’t forgiven, but the scar still burns.
*
I don’t think it’s possible to forget the things people have done to us completely, but I wish no harm to those who have hurt me.
*
I hope you enjoy today’s poem! Happy Poetry!

Imagining the Beauty of Nature~~Poetry~
Getting lost in a daydream
I look out the window
of my mind’s eye
and see the sunrise
beaming across
the tangerine sky
*
I smile
even though I can’t
feel the wind on my face
*
I still appreciate
this current mental space
*
even though I’m
afraid to go out
and face the new day
*
it’s nice to hide away
and pretend it’s ok
*
I imagine the squirrels
outside
playing and climbing
in the evergreen trees
*
I think of them squealing
and the sounds that they make
as they search and gather
for nuts and seeds
*
I think of the birds
and their cute little chirps
as they flutter and play in the water
*
I imagine the grass
and running my fingers
through its blades
by the banks
of the Columbia river
*
I spin around
making images
go faster
within my mind
*
it’s fun to imagine
different places
and being in
different times
*
knowing I can
go anywhere
without having
to wait
*
having fun with the scenery
I get to create
*
not feeling sorry for myself
or wondering what to do
*
still enjoying the moment
even though
it’s not real or true
*
Even though I struggle with social anxiety and agoraphobia, I have progressed over time. I am more comfortable going outside with my husband and can handle going with him to the store and a few other places.
*
I hope to feel comfortable enough someday to go outside alone. Until then, I imagine being outside until my husband takes me out after he gets home from work.
*
Can you relate to this at all? I feel your pain if you can, but there are ways to get better. I have hope, and you should have hope too! You are not alone, and if you ever want to talk about it, feel free to reach out to me at Abstractstarr777@gmail.com 🙂

~Thanks for reading! Until next time, stay safe, and be blessed!~ 🙂
