Hello readers,
Before I share my poem of the day I have something else to share. DAMSEL DISTRESSED comes out in less than a week, on Oct 14!! And there is a catchy tour/tag going on called Say Yes to Distressed.
So confession time! My distressing/embarrassing moment was that a close friend was changing something in them and I didn't like it. Instead of going to them I went to not another friend but an acquaintance and burst into tears and told them what happened. I shouldn't have done that. In the end it was fine. I confronted my close friend and she forgave me. We are still close, if not closer today.
Since we are talking fairytales, you should check this out: Elissa Sussman Gives Fairy Tales A Feminist Edge
Now onto OctPoWriMo:
Looking back at the past few days
and not much, no one notices
the effort I'm putting in
I want to stop and see if people still notice
if they don't i might need to change something
if they do then I have something powerful hidden in the midst of all this
Either way
I still continue
it's a way to practice for the real thing
it's a way to get an idea for a project
it's a way to release all that's in me
that bad energy I want to get rid of
the good energy I want to share
the inspiring energy I want to give
I want to love.
Thank you,
Fida

I'm quite sure I would have done the same thing as you did, going to another friend regarding the situation you were discussing. I have trouble with confrontation.
