The Relatable Poetry Journal

Book Cover & Preview Text
I have a gift with words. They surge from my brain from time to time. I have this sublime sensation to write my own combination of those 26 letters. But lately… It's been hard. The land my writing comes from is scarred. Struck repeatedly by the lightning of chaos and all things outside of my control. Uncertainty stole all my thoughts and feelings of control. But I continue to stroll through the world as it goes up in flames. I feel so lame. All I have is words. No skills to help the mills keep running. But my words unwritten turn into thoughts, Plots lingering like children waiting to be picked for kickball. A free for all on who sees the light of day This poem fought hard to be here today. So I acquiesced. Ideas become obsessed with the hope of outside validation. That divine sensation to feel important. So these are my words. I hope they help you as much as they've helped me -Words
