When it comes down to it

I know
That when it comes down to it
I won't
Even listen to myself.

I won't
Even believe the distant memories
From back
When I didn't understand.

From back
When I thought I was inferior to the world;
When I
Owed my ev'ry ounce of self.

When I
Owed the right to fufillment.
Since then
My universe has reformed.

Since then
My universe isn't empty.

Just close you mind and

Just close you eyes and think of a subject that you'd like to write about and just type and keep typing your feelings on that subject and then create a poem from what you've written...Try that Evie. Rosina xena465

Just you keep trying Evie.

Just you keep trying Evie. You obviously want to write poetry and it's a great way to rid yourself of negitive feelings. You don't have to be a great poet to write poetry. All you have to do is write how you feel. In freeverse you don't have to follow the rules of rhyme etc; I've read all of your poems and I know that you want to write about different things. Just keep digging into your creative mind, which I sense you have, and try what I suggested, and I know you'll find yourself. Sincerely Rosina xena465
