Hi, I just discovered your Substack.

This was relatable and sparked my curiosity to read the whole book. It's easy to fall into the darkness as a writer, and I guess that also helps to add depth to writing.

Yesterday, I was feeling sad as I often do and simultaneously jotted down this poem:

amid rudeness and bad memories

I want to see comfort in someone’s

eyes.

I want to see tenderness

that could subtract from my

despair.

usually don’t write this way,

but the grief is adding

up.

and I’m beginning to

feel numb every

moment.

I might never try to find

the one, yet my

hopes for someone

coming up to an

awkward loner is

higher than it has

been in the last

15 years.

Now, I want to end this

thought and put

myself to sleep, but

what can I do?

The screaming rebel inside

my heart is marching

again.

I hope reading this weird and probably far-from-good poem motivated you a little. Keep going.

Happy writing!
