Poetry, Day One: Water

A Sense of Peace

Water brings a peace.

A peace nothing else can bring.

Peace that brings freedom.

Improving My Blogging Skills, Once Again

I’ve been thinking a great deal over the past week about doing one of WordPress’s courses on blogging.  I’ve decided I’m going be re-taking WordPress’s “Intro To Poetry.” I took it a few years ago and enjoy it immensely so I’ve decided to take it again.

As you may already know if you read my blog on the regular basis is that, I’ve been struggling with blogging the last seven or so months due to a relapse in my mental health diagnosis. I figure if I do one of the blogging courses that it will help me get back into blogging on the regular basis. If I blog on the regular basis then maybe, things will start improving a lot more in regards to my mental health.

I apologize for the short post but it is goal to keep you the reader, reading. Have an good week everyone. Peace out!!!

Untitled Poem

(for now)

by Gertie

Looking in your eyes,

Make me acutely aware,

That you don’t speak no lies.

You are just full of love and don’t mind my dares.

My dares that cause us to have fun

And live life to the fullest.

Even when the clouds cover up the sun,

We sure are the coolest.

The look on her face,

Was that of distrust.

Distrust of what?

No one will know.

Cause it was too late.

Too late to ask why.

An Untitled Poem

(For now)

by Gertie

You don’t look like me.

You don’t act like me.

You may have a mental illness like me

but why should

our recovery look the same.

Its not one size fits all.

We are different;

so is our road to recovery.

Don’t judge mine.
