when I opened my eyes
this morning
there was something
different in the air
like something unseen
had happened
while I slept
like the world was a kinder
gentler place
like I knew it was ok
to be me
I’m not a freak
for coming to the page
I’m not a strange alien being
for wanting to write it all down
and all of a sudden I could breath
and what a wonder
that is
it’s ok to be me
it’s ok to live in this skin
it’s really allfuckingright
and
I am free
it isn’t something shameful
no
it isn’t something obscene
I write for crying out loud
I may write mediocre
I may write badly
but praise be
I write
and write I will
right or wrong
good or bad
now
if I could just find someone
to give me money for it…………
ok
I’ll take accolades

I applaud you new freedom. You do not write badly. I enjoy reading your work. I have not been online much due to an injury but I read your work when I can. I always am glad I did.
Great write my friend,

Hi Jo,
I applaud your new found freedom, and validate it. Your putting it out there with such authentic grace benefits us all. Love your poetry. Love yourself through your poetry. Let it teach you how to show the world you have a gift to give. As you come to believe the value in it IS--the abundance
will be attracted to you regardless of the practical source. Someone may pay you for publication--or it may come from somewhere completely unexpected. The key is believe in it. --From my journey to yours-- Vicky
