Question for curiosity: Why do you need poems in your project?
A writer is a world trapped in a person— Victor Hugo

Ink is blood. Paper is bandages. The wounded press books to their heart to know they're not alone.

Is there a certain theme for the poem, or can it be about anything we like?
“It is the tale, not he who tells it.”
― Stephen King

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”
― Stephen King

The project is a poetry portfolio. It includes our own works and the works of poets we admire. We get extra points for finding new and inventive poets. All of your work will be credited to you. I am asking that you entitle your work. Write what comes to you, any theme you want. Comment if you plan on participating.
You are more than the choices that you've made, you are more than the sum of your past mistakes. You are more than the problems you create, You'v been remade.

when she needs to shelter from reality she takes a dip in my daydreams

Turn your demons into art, your shadow into a friend, your fear into fuel, your failures into teachers, your weaknesses into reasons to keep fighting. Don’t waste your pain. Recycle your heart.
