Hold my head up high

Convince myself to enter

Take a breath and smile

(I donโ€™t like to make a splash, prefer to blend in with the crowd. Having the attention on me makes me uncomfortable. Here is my vulnerable โ€œgrandโ€ entrance)

The sky jumps upwards -

transforms the black into blue.

Takes all day to fall.

Like air, I enter

Invisible, palpable

Silent but intense

Like Naomi, I also shy away from flash entrances, but I always leave a mark. Haha! And thatโ€™s how I hope it would be with this group...

Entrances scare me

But I will lift up my chin

Smile for Hellokoo

So excited to be part of this group!

We can all be scared togetherโ€ฆ and hopefully discover it isnโ€™t so scary after all โค๏ธ

take a leap of faith

jumping into the unknown

will poetry come?

Have hit a brick wall with creativity. I fluctuate between giving up or just being patient with myselfโ€ฆ..

We vote for just being patient with yourself. No need to give up... the seeds need to be buried underground before they grow ๐ŸŒฑ
