The kind words
that I hear
keeps me writing
to this day

The kind words
that I am told
takes all the
pain and
sadness away

The kind words
that are said
makes me want to
keep making books
out of my poetry
for everyone
to read

Your kind words
are what keeps
the poetry
alive
in me

A few years ago one my of sisters told me that my poetry was crap. I won't deny that it hurt me. Her words devastated me and it took me a long time to claw my way back. After we began talking again, I told her that her words were the most hurtful that anyone had ever said to me. It's really hard when people target what you love to do. Who do you write for? I learned that I write for 'me'. I love to learn from others, but no one has ever torn me down here. I have only learned and I have only grown. So, keep your head held high. Write for yourself and for the love that you have of writing your poems. That is what matters.

Hang in there.

I think you speak for all here...
