Poetry Tuesday: My Mind

Hello readers,

"I love the rain because no one sees me crying. I love the wind because I can close my eyes and know everything will eventually be okay."

My Mind
By day my mind...
is everywhere else but here;
I push on and as I do another part
I blank...
not remembering, not thinking
I still push on, but that special someone
notices the look I have
"you've had enough."
just take a break.

A true, fresh from the heart poem written right when school let out. Insha'Allah, I'll have a better day.

InshaAllah you will.
And when you feel like your mind and everything is so TIRED; you need a break honey.
Have some 'me' time every night. Just for yourself.
Have your favourite icecream/chocolate bar while you lie on your bed and think about good times. Or simply go for a walk and appreciate something new. Let your mind wander.
'not all who wander are lost'... maybe they're just finding something instead.

Keep Smiling Fida,through your poetry, your words and comments - I think you're truly beautiful sis. <3 ((:

In the thirteenth century, the Holy Roman Church has ordered the Knights Templar to exterminate the Passionate, her bloodline.

Publishers That Publish Poetry Books

Hello Poetteers, As I was doing my own research for poetry publishers this question popped up on my feed: Does anyone know any publishers that publish poetry books? Later on, while hosting #PoetteerChat I asked what everyone’s plan is for a year from now. Most of you said to be published. I promised a list of publishers, so here’s the top 7 I found. Along with the publisher, I will mention the poets they represent. I want to work with someone I can trust. Seeing familiar names makes them more trustable in my opinion.
