Being here, reading so many similar stories, hearing the pain, confusion, sorrow brings back so many old memories that were laid to the grave or laid aside to rise again.

I don’t express myself in writing well. One on one, face to face, in a deep conversation is where I flourish. But here, when I attempt to put pen to paper or fingers on keys to write to strangers about the most painful event in my life, my thoughts evaporate, my fingers stiffen, silence fills the void.

I noticed that some people mention they write about their thoughts and feelings in journals. Something I’ve never done or probably will. When I feel the need to write, it, unfortunately, appears in a poetic format. Is there a place here where people share their journal entries or poems?

You can share here or in Off Topic if the issue isn't A-related. Just watch out for guideline rules, such as no flaming/shaming or posting on a Stop Sign post in the Wayward forum.

If you go to your profile, you’ll see an option for journaling. You can make it public or private too. Get to writing!

You wouldn't be the only one who expresses themself in poetry - but IMO, poetry is harder to understand than prose.

Sometimes the benefit comes from getting something out, whether others understand or not. I think SIers know that, so ... whatever you need (within guidelines)....

Thank you for your responses and suggestions. I agree, poetry is not for everyone, especially from non-poets like myself. I don't even have enough rhythm to dance let alone to write a decent poem. :)
