Pen pressed against the page
Ink pouring out
Words not forming in their usual dance
Stepping left, stepping right
But never meeting as one
The endless X’s and dashes jumbling thoughts
X does not mark the spot
Only shows the weakness of my mind
And my substandard writings
Should I even share this?

This is my mind every time I sit down to write a blog. I immediately think to myself, “Is anyone even going to understand what I’m saying? Is anyone even going to take the time to read this? Will this help anyone?” Yes. So many things, yes.

Thank you for taking the time to come read my poem. It’s nice to hear other people have this struggle as well. The best way I combat these thoughts is to always post my writings and see what the community has to say. Because at the end of the day it will only help me grow as a writer and blogger.

I agree completely. If you don’t write it and put yourself out there how would anyone read your stuff? So happy we found each others blogs! 😄

in my experience, the things you think you shouldn’t share, are the ones you should share the most! ❤

I am having a similar dilemma. I have a blog written about my all time favorite singer. I am going to meet them this weekend and I really want to share it with them and the world, but I am afraid it will not be good enough. I have other blogs I don’t feel fully confident about publishing as well. Sometimes I think you just gotta go for it and learn from it I guess….btw Holly, this blog is brilliant like always. Great work!

I am more keen to read prose but you placed the words together very well. I invite you to visit my digital house as well. There are some decorated anecdotes and stories, just trying my best to make my substandard writing better.

Sometimes it’s hard to accept ourselves and what we have done until someone else confirms it to us! I get that way. So, here it is – You are very talented and your words just prove it!
