***WE ARE VERY LUCKY***

We are the LUCKIEST people alive!

As poets, we write down our thoughts for whatever reason; our pain release, our gift to others, our hobby. We do what we love to do and sometimes need to do for our own sanity. We do it for us.
Then someone completely distant and separate can connect with our thoughts and really relate. For a smile, a giggle, a tear or a laugh it takes nothing from that person, but to us means so much. To put your heart and your truths on paper and be appreciated or praised or acknowledged for that is the greatest feeling ever. Our passion becomes the catalyst for their thought. Our lives in their hand for them to read and relate to. Our truths, our past, our lessons or our sadness is there for anyone to see. The world can feel our pain, see our happiness and smile because someone sees things the same as them

The best:
*When you get the language right,
*When someone reads your words,
*When someone likes your work,
*When someone loves your work
*When someone has an amazing connection to what you felt/feel.
*When someone you love realises just how much you do.

WE ARE VERY LUCKY

We are born with the gift to make an impact, positive or negative. We have the power.

That's what I love so much about being a writer. I like to make people feel. You know how sometimes you just read something.. Whether it be a poem, or a book, or you see a movie.. You know how there's those ones that just make you feel so much emotion.. I want to make people feel that. I dunno.. I just know that whatever I do in life, I just want to make a difference in the world.. No matter how big or small it may be..

Poets Are Blessed With The Gift To Write!

So true, we are blessed with our writing. Some people, when they are down, i will give them advice to write poetry to get their mind off of things, that's what i do afterall. But they just simply say no, that they can't. But everyone can, they just don't realize it or they just don't want to realize it. But very well put Sami. :)

I've thought of my poetry as a way to reach the world and all the people in it a way to connect with peopes hearts and minds a thousand miles away. I know that I can make a differance no matter what...poetry opens doors to other worlds and allows us to experiance circumstances we have never really encountered physically but have emotionally..which rly rly is amazing! For example I have never been raped but when i read about it or write about it I feel as if I have gone through the persons journey with them. Well thats how I feel anyways..if anyone agrees please post and share your thoughts.

wow, I never thougth of it like that. I always thought we had just found a creative way of exprressing ourselfs. I never thought we were lucky, but I think you're right. Nicely said.

Amazing... it really touched me reading it.. it came straight from your heart..
