A to Z: V & W Poems

I apologize for not posting yesterday. Here is two poems, one for the letter V and another for W:

Vast

A vast mind can be good or bad
you might have something
or you might not

Even if you do
you don't know what to let out
and what to hide
whether to let stay or go.

With your vastness
you may be disliked or loved
Just put yourself out there.

*of course I doubt putting my poems out there, but you all seem to like bits and pieces of different kinds. Also, I did have three different lines for the end. I hope you enjoyed it!

Wake up

Wake up and smell the coffee
smell the roses
smell and see everything as it is

If it's good, show it
if it's bad, hide it and/or change it
it's what your life is for.

Coincidence! I was just getting back to other blogs and I saw you posted. Well, I like your 'vast' poem. As long as the mind isn't so vast that we ourselves get lost, I think it's pretty much okay.
Thanks for sharing! :)

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...
