I really liked “I am Escapism” but I realized that it implies a lie, it implies that escape from this world is my end. Because of this shortcoming I have added another part, “God is not.” which I feel balanced what I left out in the first part, so please be sure to take in the full idea, and don’t just read the first part ;). 
          (I may add one or two more parts if I have ideas for them, but this should be a relatively short writing altogether when it is completed.)

Just released an individual short piece of writing titled "I am Escapism." as a very short self reflection, so- if the cover isn't too bizarrely weird for you- by all means check it out ;D
          
          I'd also be interested in seeing which poems you guys like the best, if you would "vote" them or reply here with a title or list I'd love to see which ones mean the most to you ;)

New poem in Poetry/Prayer to God (2024):
          "My Home"
          
          I've decided that I should write a new poem every day, regardless of how well it turns out. This is not going to mean a new poem here everyday, as these won't all fit the collections I am posting here, but it should keep me on my toes and increase the regularity of postings :D

Writing Update:
          I just released a new poem in Poetry/Prayer to God (2024) titled "Break These Chains", and this is actually my first poem that I really paid attention to the syllables in. My other poems have focused exclusively on rhyme and meaning, but I kept a (mostly) uniform number of syllables per line in this.
          
          I've been researching and learning about Blank Verse (poetry written in a pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables), and hopefully this is one step of many (there will need to be many in order for me to get there) on the road to actually being able to write it. 
          
          Again, I know I am in a kind of bubble here where I'm telling you about something I'm not actually putting here, but my writing is not as stagnant as my posting, and I have been continuing to work on my fiction novels, so my brain has hopefully not died to the world of writing, even if this account has ;).

Writing Update:
          I wrote (a couple days ago) and published (just now) the first piece of "Poetry/Prayer to God (2024)" which I will continue to add to throughout the year (though not with any currently planned regularity).
          I also plan to begin writing pieces to, and hopefully publishing parts of Pathways this year, and I've continued to work on planning and writing two fiction novels I have started (which I do not currently have plans for publishing on Wattpad).

Because 2023 is over, I think I should consider my 2023 poetry book over. I thought about it too much in terms of a book, and not enough in terms of the year's summary. It is kind of both, but I am not publishing any books anytime soon, and therefore it is for now a collection, and I am defining it by the year it was written in, and therefore it is over. 
          
          I will not be adding "Thank You For" to it, and I will be marking the writing as complete (if I can figure out how to). 
          
          This doesn't imply the end of my poetry though, as I already have a number of names and ideas for the 2024 continuation, in addition Pathways, which I have a list of title ideas for as well. 
          
          As to when any of this will be written- I really don't know, I have a lot of school work and am very busy right now, so, unfortunately, it might be a while.

          I'm just wondering, I personally don't think I can choose one, but do you have a favorite so far? Or which ones particularly stood out to you? 
          
          As always, thanks for following my writing, I'm thankful to God that I am able to write something someone might think is worth reading <3.

I am planning on wrapping up Poetry and Prayers to God (2023) with the end of the year, this means the writing is coming to completion, and I (unless I think of something else to add) have the final list for what writings will be in it.
          
          As of right now, this is the complete list of what writings will be in the booklet, and the order:
          1. The Broken Heart
          2. I Don't Know
          3. How Can I Be Yours?
          4. The Rock
          5. Who I am.

          This year has been one of my favorite yet, I think I have grown and changed a lot, and I'm glad for it. While this is approaching the end of this page, the book is not over, in my previous post (yesterday) I announced what my next writing will be about, so check it out for more information :) thanks!!

"Life is the path we take to death;
          Don't take shortcuts."
          — Me 
          
          God has a plan for your life, we can't always see it around the next bend in the road, but it's there, don't you ever doubt it, and don't end it. 
          
          Your life is worth far more than we can imagine, even when it feels like a collection of all your failures, it is something you, and/in God, can do meaningful things with.

Great song that expresses a lot of what my poetry expresses:
