writing these poems was a great outlet for me. i went in without any real plan, since this was my first time participating in a challenge like this. most of the poems are meditations on my thoughts a few years ago when i was in an extremely depressed state. most of these thoughts and words have truly been unread, unsaid, and unwritten in any way before, so this was pretty much a month-long artistic vent. i'm looking forward to next year, maybe with a more positive theme?
my words have been said, my thoughts have been read. thank you.
Don't aim at success--the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. — Viktor E. Frankl
