My problems seemed so big,
To a perspective so small,
They seemed so big that I built up a wall;
Promises made they’d soon renege.
The problems faded
But the wall remained,
Waited for someone kind to invade,
But I learned that I must be the one to reclaim it.
This is definitely a favourite!
Wow. Have you tried to publish your poetry?
That would be a dream come true! Been looking at different contests recently but haven’t submitted to any just yet!
I’ve entered a few contents. Nerve-wracking! Nothing yet for me. You should definitely pursue some contests.
any recommendations for ones with upcoming deadline?
My genre is creative non-fiction. Personal essays, memoir writing. Not that this truth/lies would make you believe that lol. So it would be completely different. Two that I’ve entered I found out about from Discover here on WordPress. They highlight, at times, various literary magazines and contests.
I’ll keep my eyes peeled!
Ewwww
