Recently I’ve been busy at work and haven’t had as much time to sit down and write a poem everyday. So some of my poems are really sloppy or unfinished and not so great, and I get embarrassed about posting them on tumblr because I’m like “Oh what if everybody thinks I suck and they stop following me?” or “what if it doesn’t get any notes and then I feel bad about my writing?” But then I remembered that I made this blog as a place to consolidate all my writing: whether it be drafts or fleeting thoughts or things I’ve thought of in the shower, etc. and that I have just been blessed enough along the way to have gained all these followers who think the things I write are worth something.
So I decided I’m just going to post all my random shenanigans. I don’t want to be so concerned about the beauty of my writing (especially of the drafts I post) that I don’t share my ideas at all, because that is the main point of poetry for me– not necessarily the beauty in the way the words flow or express an idea (though when done well it really does accentuate and drastically change/improve a poem)– but the ideas themselves. And so I will share with you all my rough drafts and not-so-perfect poems so that I can still share my ideas with you all, and maybe motivate some of you who are scared to share your writing to do so, because you have to start somewhere and not all beautiful poems are written in one draft.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love you all!
