Thanks Carol. Poetry is definitely a release. I've hardly written anything for almost a year...just couldn't get in the headspace but I think my anxieties have just built up to boiling point. I did get to a point before where my writing eventually was fighting back rather than just letting the demons take over so maybe I need to get my head back to that place. Re-read some of my earlier work and read others work. I'm sure there's something uplifting in me somewhere still, just need to find my way to channel it out.

I think writing poetry is a great conduit for expression, dark or otherwise. To be able to articulate how you are feeling helps to diffuse the anxiety. Maybe you could slip in at least one line within the darker poems, that is uplifting? Hope just needs to be released. [I speak from personal experience.] 😀

Thanks Julie. I don't know why my writing is always dark. I try writing something uplifting but the words don't come. Maybe 'dark' is just my writing style but really want to try and change my style a little, maybe it might lift the clouds.....I keep trying... That's all I can do I suppose ❤️
