Love all things colour, texture and vibrancy. Always show love and compassion to those around you. God’s presence in my life is important

Over the last year I’ve been exploring new things, one of which is creative writing and poetry. For me beinj able to be vocal and create through words has been so uplifting. It allows me to speak a truth, to share the thing I see through words and it has also created new communities that have enriched my life. I also want to thank @hopeonprescriptionfor giving me a space to grow and also be around wonderful writers and poets, and @hypermediaevents who put on some incredible events that showcase so much talent.

My safe space,
In times where my thoughts overtake, leaving me feeling like as though the rug has been snatched from beneath me.
I need to create a warmth, a regulation of my body/mind. I need safety!!
Food, sleep, self care it all comes down to safety. I find safety in knowing I belong, through people, places and redirecting my thoughts to the fact that little pockets of happieness.
The waves of injustice, people’s hatred for there fellow human, they cause a sense of internal struggle and deep sadness.
I need to see what the breaking of dawn has to offer, can sunkihhh reach into the depths of my own self ? Can I feel connected in a world that at times feels, and shows itself disconnected.
In the most inner part of me I crave deep connection, not only with others but with nature. I feel that connection can help maintain truth and understanding.
My safe space, it causes a fuel, care and hope.
I am more through it, I am a being, seeking sanctuary in it.
I wanted to share my poem which has been featured in this months edition of Dartford Living something I’m very grateful for.
I hope you manage to take something away from it, since I wanted to highlight Dartford in a positive way.
As well as showing how hard day to day can be when leaving once home can be very challenging.

Wrote a little poem called Autumn leaf’s, in the back is teeth’s that as you can see is a character.
I wrote this because the transition of seasons, can very much be like how we feel about certain changes in our life’s. It can be hard but can also being renewal.

So made this on my tick toc but thingy I’d share in on here too. Over the last few months writing has been very helpful and grounding for me. It’s allowed me to express my feeling, and overall worries that I have in life. Sharing my poetry isn’t something I do with the intent of needing validation but it’s something I thought be nice to share. #spokenword #poetry #mentalhealth #anxiety
