52 weeks of positivity (kinda) by Elephantinabox

Completed 4th jan 2020 My attempt at this challange, My poems may not always be "positive" but I'm trying to do the 52 weeks of positivity through being positive about my work. It's so much easier to be humble and put yourself down. Then to say "oi I think this is great" -- Hey this is an insight into my 2019, with its ups and downs and middles. Hope u enjoy

The Dearly Hated by _Lordvenom_

"A penny for my thoughts? I'll simply write them for free."

Yours Truly, Mooncalf by fuzzbrain

This is a personal documentation through poetry. I am learning to look inward now, give myself love when I least want to. I do not live to love others, I live to love myself. I will find and create what is enough for me, and you will learn to let it be enough for you. 2022

Shut Up I'm Thinking by hollihannah

With writing a story you can create the emotion and genuine reaction of people in a situation so everyone can understand. I feel that if I can tell a story real enough, then others going through the same struggles would see what the true outcome looks like. This compilation of stories includes pieces I wrote for creative writing classes, stories I started but didn't feel I could enlongate, poetry that's personal, and short pieces I wrote for fun. *Bold writing is just me either explaining it or adding my two cents*

Turned my life into art by _teenage_poet_

My collection of poems in the past three years which leads to character development. Realistic incidents, illusionary love, hardships, it's quite a journey. Some say I'm unique and some say I'm Raw. Some say my work is relatable and some feel they can relate. That's crazy though, makes me want to be heard. I was quiet as feathers basically my whole life, closed up, antisocial, lost. Until I started writing. Although, I didn't open my mouth, I was even louder than before. Excuse me, I am louder!
