Power of the Pen Group/Live Event: April 29
Hi everyone,
For this month's Power of the Pen group live meeting, I invite you to join in and celebrate this month being National Poetry Month! You are welcome to write or search your previous writings and share your poetry or other pennings during this meeting which will be held on Saturday the 30th of April 2022 at 12 PM EST in the Content Garden chatroom. I expect the meeting to last for 1 hour.
To help inspire you, a theme you can consider is mental health experiences or awareness.
We will also have a forum space to share and support related writing after this event.
I look forward to meeting with you and reading your wonderful creations!
Feel welcome to express interest or share any questions in this thread. You can also PM me for help with ideas or any other concerns.
How do I get into the content garden chatroom?
@turquoiseRaspberries9937 Hi there, you will be able to see the room on your Group Support chat list here during the time of the event.
I want to see the world how I did as a child. Innocent and mild instead of how realty sets and destroys that illusion. Makes me see the world around me as a dark, wild and dangerous.

I face deep sadness and pain, day in day out,
It is a colossal mountain,
It brings me joy to chip away at it little by little.
I am proud of how far I have come,
I have made a dent in my mountain.
I am happy with my dent.
Please note that this event has been postponed to Saturday at 12 PM EST. Tagging everyone who responded here in case you would like to join:

Go all the way.
Do not love half lovers.
Do not entertain half friends
Do not indulge in works of the half talented
Do not live half a life and do not die a half death
If you choose silence, then be silent
When you speak, do so until you are finished
Do not silence yourself to say something
And do not speak to be silent
If you accept, then express it bluntly
Do not mask it
If you refuse then be clear about it
for an ambiguous refusal
is but a weak acceptance
Do not accept half a solution
Do not believe half truths
Do not dream half a dream
Do not fantasize about half hopes
Half a drink will not quench your thirst
Half a meal will not satiate your hunger
Half the way will get you no where
Half an idea will bear you no results
Your other half is not the one you love
It is you in another time yet in the same space
It is you when you are not
Half a life is a life you didn't live,
A word you have not said
A smile you postponed
A love you have not had
A friendship you did not know
To reach and not arrive
Work and not work
Attend only to be absent
What makes you a stranger to them closest to you and they strangers to you
The half is a mere moment of inability
but you are able for you are not half a being
You are a whole that exists to live a life not half a life
- Kahlil Gibran
Have to remind myself to go all the way, everytime i said to myself and God about meeting him half way, never turned out, its all the way, to be all in, to face adversity head on, and not to be content but to strive for the finish line and cross it.
All the way.
