Walking day in and day out trying to mask the emotions....Because of my status at my place of employment I am expected to....like I dont experience pain to....Let me show one ounce of expression because of my skin color Im looked at as another black woman with an attitude...."shes mean, shes a bitch, she's bossy."..excuse me while I tuck my tears away for your comfort, Accept my apology?...But have u ever thought the issue has nothing to do with u?....that the problem's deep rooted to?....keep my thoughts to myself as I walk past u....captured in my own mind, u still think it has something to do with u?....u seem a bit selfish, excuse me if Im being rude.....But once again for u do u still want me to wear this ridiculous disguise?....of a woman untouched by life's journey....for u I will smile completely....for u I will act as if u know exactly how I feel today....is that okay?....Im sorry But I cant be the face of Your Corporate America....because I am an artist scarred....I am a woman pained....I am a walking expression of my voice, my words, my journey, my life!!!....my pen to this teared stained paper I am my work....I am my pain...I am living proof that my passion is present and my heart works....#TrappedArtist #Poet #WriteThroughThePain #JustMyThoughts

We got all these words, Can't waste them on another. So I'm straight in a straight line, Running back to you.

I don't know what day it is, I had to check the paper. I don't know the city, But it isn't home.

But you say I'm lucky, To love something that loves me. But I'm torn as I could be, Wherever I roam, hear me say:

All this time, We were waiting for each other. All this time, I was waiting for you

I'm feeling better since you know me I was a lonely soul but that's the old me It's been a long time coming since I've seen your face And I've never went back trying to replace everything that I broke till my feet went numb Praying like a fool that just shot a gun Heart still beating but it's not working It's like a hundred thousand voices that just can't sing I reach out trying to love but I feel nothing Oh my heart is numb But with you I feel again And with you I can feel again

Hello to some of my new followers!

[aida-caroti]

OK, I have a couple of things to say. First: I adore this blog. Everything I've seen so far is simply amazing. Second: Do you maybe have any advice on how to do the famous "show don't tell"? I'm having trouble with it, and everything I write just doesn't look good to me. I should probably stop comparing my work to other's, but I can't help it! Also, I'm not English so that just makes it more difficult for me, even though I do have quite advanced knowledge (for a 17-year-old). Thanks in advance!

Aww, thank you! :D

And sure. Showing and not telling is a concept a lot of people find hard to grasp at first. I mean, in school, you're taught to be completely straightforward and tell the reader everything. They don't teach this to you, and it's something you have to learn on your own.
