It only takes one word
Like a slow, hesitant breath
Streaming into more fluid exhales –
An even cadence
Unfurling the tense coils
Of anxiety
From deep within the chest
Until it becomes less painful
To draw these words out
Even when they
Snag and bruise
With their jagged edges
At the exposed places
And delicate fringes
Of my mind
A balsamic comfort
Trails over these wounds
Soothing the unease
With the knowledge
That I’m trying
And that is enough
To keep me going.

Hmm it appears like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for first-time blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

Hey! I’m sorry for the late reply but your comment got put in the spam folder for some reason.
I am still a novice to this haha, but the advice I can give is getting involved with the writing community on the platform you choose to blog. Connecting with other writers not only helps to give you visibility, but you learn so much from them as well 🙂 and posting on a consistent basis helps a lot to keep readers coming back. I hope that helps! And thank you for reading my posts 🙂LikeLike
