Poetry Schmoetry: Silence

Assalamu Alaikum sisters,


I'm entering my first blog fest ever! Also, it's a poetry one! The blog fest is called Poetry Schmoetry. My first entry was Monday's poem, today is the second entry, and i'A tomorrow will be the third and last. So enjoy!

Silence

Silence is all I need
after all this
rushing here and there
everyone is piling work on my
I take it as stress
overflowing my frustration level
I want to rest, I want to cry
I know nothing will stop, stay still

But all I need silence
to brighten me up.

thank you,
Fida

AMEN! I loved your poem. It perfectly captured the feeling. I need silence too. Not in a "silence would be nice" way, but a "I need silence like I need air" way. Maybe that is why I'm a night owl.

I love this! At night, I feel this way. The dark and the silence can be so comforting sometimes!

Hearing About IWSG

Hello readers, I was reading Ali's post about this support group that talks about writerly doubts. I have doubts and I shall share them because that's the point of a support group. I used to be insecure about traditional publishing, that no one with accept my writing. Then I heard of self publishing. Yet that added to my insecurities. I have no money or talent to showcase my writing. After IndieReCon I felt a better, yet once the high went away, I find it's only a little bit better. I need a team, I need help. I call for help, but I don't get replies. That's another insecurity, I don't think I have any fans. My blog is becoming dead and I keep thinking of deactivating my twitter. The only reason I stay is for the knowledge. And the worse insecurity, dare I say it. All the above add to me... wanting to quit writing. I have little motivation and that motivation is to show my Muslim community you don't have to be a doctor or lawyer or teacher to be...

What's up Wed: Blog Tour Day 3

Hello readers, What I'm Reading CROWN OF MIDNIGHT! The first book was already great but this second book kicked it up a notch with the OMG! moments. What I'm Writing : I'm keeping on with NaNoWriMo at 28k! In between I'm switching back and forth between two stories: Reading Deciding Hijab after a long break. I forgot about her short conversation about a school dance club. I didn't even put in a scene of her joining after the conversation. More revisions to come. The other story is one I have a sneak peak on Wattpad . What Else : It's day three of belated Hugs & Kisses blog tour. Earlier this month Medeia reviewed my book . If you have read it or is planning to read it I would love to see your review on goodreads ! Poetry Prompt : Write about the feeling reading gives you. a Rafflecopter giveaway Love, Fida # Poetteers
