OctPoWriMo Day 18

Hello poetry lovers,

Any luck
in being?

I'm nervous
even with those I love
I talk, ramble
until I can't anymore

My shaking from being nervous
finally stops with the talking
I'm finally calming down
I'm quiet

Grateful for the original love
from my friend
worrying about me
finding a pen for me to use
being playful with me
I'm hopeful

I tell myself
I have to be elegant
but it doesn't last long

It's like the nerves
took all my energy
I start going downhill
drained and tired

Wanting the frisky back
wanting the adventure to go on
but I also want it to end
rest awhile before the next adventure.

Love, Fida

I'm a very shy person by nature. There are very few people I feel I can be truly myself with. I now work in a field where I interact with people on a daily basis, but it took me a while to get there!

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The
