Miriam's Poems 🫶🏼

In this Blog I will be uploading my poetry. I’ve written poems since I was in middle school and I’ve always enjoyed it and I hope you do too 🙂

Why do this? Why should you read my blog?

• I’m doing this cause I want to put my work and talent out there.
• You should read my blog because I feel like many people can relate to a lot of my poems. People can also relate to my experiences in life. Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• I’m blogging publicly because I want people to see my work and I feel like people can get to know me better by reading my writing, What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• The main topics I’ll talk about is my experiences with anxiety and depression. I want people to know that no matter what pain they are going through there will always be light at the end. All pain is temporary. Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• I would like connect with people who are dealing with any mental struggle or pain. I want to be an influence and I want to help others. If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
• If my blog is a success for the next year then that would mean the world to me. My goal for in the future is to become an author/poet.

Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
