something feels out of place, maybe my thoughts are twirling in the wind - i am just not sure which one, at this moment in time - i wish i knew. . i wish i could explain it (breathing out a deep sigh) there is a void, yes- an emptiness here emotions toss, back and forth - they don’t seem to have any direction; none at all how can this be? my heart aches and it slowly breaks yet, i don’t know why . . something feels different, not like it should be i just wish i understood, so i could explain it to my heart ___________________ - sometimes, thoughts tangle every emotion - * a little scribble from the heart * Author's Note: One should always feel happy, safe and at peace- in the Poetry World. This heart of mine is having a hard time understanding how negative thoughts, bullies and anger, even jealousy can reside in Poetry. (Always be different from the World)

So many times my writing's have been misconstrued as negativity over the course of my life. I choose to embrace both the darkness in me and the light they are the ying and yang they are the good and evil. To ignore one and allow the other to run rampant does not allow my true authenticity to shine through. When you allow yourself to not be authentic you become a shadow that consumes light instead of allowing it to pass through. I love this poem I love the note that you put at the end of it.AS

Negative emotions are normal and writing them down helps in many ways. Sharing them with everyone, isn't always necessary. Negative thoughts spoken aloud are certainly different than a dark feeling deep inside. Your comment is powerful and I understand you completely. So kind of you to say you love this poem. Thank you for mentioning the note at end. It's another way of expressing how I feel. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

poetry is an outlet where emotions are vented. most angry hate filled poems are merely a sign someone is having a truly bad hair day. then again as we've discussed before, it maybe a sign of the poets true personality and a sign to stay away.

Sometimes, emotions are placed upon the page- because they need to be free. In a good way. Other times, they are placed to create an issue. You are right, as you have stated before, a poets heart is visible through words of poetry. Thank you Robert, your thoughts are appreciated. ~ Brandy

Hello Brandy, our emotions sometimes get in the way. Oh yes negative thoughts do bully. That is why some of us are depressed. It is best to be thinking positive thoughts. have a nice day my friend.

Dear Darlene, even though negative surrounds us- it is best to linger in the positive. Sometimes, it is difficult to do. I like caressing the positive- as much as possible. I appreciate you and your thoughts. My best to you! ~ Brandy

I understand how you feel Brandy, this site should be all about encouragement, unfortunately the world is a crazy place right now, and poetry is the expressing of thoughts and emotions that people feel. Unless there is hope and faith in ones heart there is no anchor for the soul in troubled times. This and all poetry sites are a reflection of the world around us!

Thank you John, for understanding the meaning behind these words of mine. No one should feel out of place, in the poetry world. We should be joined together. Being One voice, One heart. I appreciate you and your thoughts. Your friendship here. My best to you. ~ Brandy

I do feel your very refined words dear Brandy.. a heart of a poet does feel anything that is "out of place".. it does hurt! I perceive the realm of poetry as a world of Beauty, Insight and wonders.. and poets as beautiful and knowledgeable souls.. I personally walk away from negativity and ugliness and always try to embrace Beauty in its utmost refinement and genuineness.. A profound and shaking work of art! A pleasure to read your sensitive and beautiful work.. Be blessed always.

Dear Besma, a heart should feel at peace, while in poetry. Negative poems, ones that are hurtful do not belong where many strive to stay positive. You are right, staying away from those that like to cause issues, is the best way to live. Always standing up for the truth while you do. Your thoughts are appreciated. Keep smiling my friend. Thank you for being You. ~ Brandy

Brandy, thank you for sharing your informed perspective on this issue. This poem along with your comment on Brenda Chiri's recent blog post is much appreciated. ~Mark

You are very welcome Mark. Many here really don't understand the importance of being over a huge community such as this. It takes more than just paying the bill, and letting people linger. I am so blessed to be where I am. I am respected, which means I am doing my job right. (What a wonderful feeling that is indeed) Your thoughts are appreciated. Thank you for being so kind. ~ Brandy

Good afternoon to you ma'am, hope all is well. I feel your pain and confusion here. Sometimes with myself, I feel an alone-ness that I can't understand. Even in a room full of people I find myself alone and searching. Like scanning shadows to find the one that gives off the light. I hope your weekend is a treasured one! TAH

Dear Tobey, you are so polite. :) Such a gentleman. Thank you for calling me ma'am. (I am just me) I think we can all relate to this feeling, of being in a room filled with people- but feeling all alone. There is always hope. Never doubt your worth. I am happy that you are here. Thank you for sharing your poetry. I appreciate your kindness. May you have a wonderful weekend. ~ Brandy

This was beautiful in its sadness Brandy. They say a broken heart will heal with time, I just wonder if there is ever enough time for that to be completely true. As far as your notes, hate and bullying on poetry sites is just they way it is, but you are right and if we are all in this together, there is no reason we can not overcome this as well.

Brandy Nicole
Date: 12/7/2018 7:17:00 PM

Yes, there is a sadness to this. For many reasons. I care for those around me, even the ones that I don't really know. Sounds silly I guess. Why does hate, negative comments and bullies have to be here?? Like I said, I just don't understand. Why is there jealously? We are all writers. Different, but we share the same voice. You have always supported me, and I thank you for that. You and your thoughts are appreciated. ~ Brandy

Unfortunately poetry sites are not immune from these negative emotions..Well expressed Brandy..

Brandy Nicole

Negative emotions do not cause people to leave a poetry site- the way people treat each other, is why they leave. A poetry site can maintain peace. It certainly is possible. Thank you Joseph. You and your thoughts are appreciated. ~ Brandy

The feeling of emptiness visits from time to time...but not for long. I know it sees the exit signs. You captured the moments well.. that so many can relate to. Your words show the strength to rise above it all..well said, Brandy.

True, emptiness does not stay for long, especially for those who hold happiness inside. It takes someone wise and understanding to look over the negative- even when sometimes that is very difficult. Truly, there is no reason for conflict in the poetry world- especially poets against poets. Thank you Vijay. Your thoughts always brighten the mood. You make this world a better place. I appreciate you. ~ Brandy

Hi Robert, even though I don't really comment on your poetry. You have always been kind to me. That alone means more to me than any comment made. Knowing that you are here, sharing your words. Thoughts from "Your Heart" I appreciate you. Thank you for saving this my friend, in your favorites. My best to you. Always. ~ Brandy

Thank you John. Poetry is a place where I am able to "Just Be." To release all emotions of the heart, without the fear of being judged. (At least that is how it should be) Your kindness is appreciated. You are a true friend. Many wonderful blessings to you. ~ Brandy
