what do you write about?

i take my traumas

turn them into poetry

so others can heal

I often get asked what I write about, but I never really know how to answer.

I write about a lot of things. I write about travel, food, self-improvement, yoga and other stuff on other platforms. So I can just list them.

But when I get asked what my stories and poems are about? Crickets.

I don't know. Read one and tell me?

Whatever I write in my poems feels like it isn't written by me. It feels like it already exists in the ether and just flows through me. But they usually have some connection with me, and I believe that is why the poem chooses me. We connect through previous experiences. Writing them helps me to heal wounds, or digest emotions but I truly think their purpose to be born is to help others to do the same.
