NAPP-Y #1

NAPP-Y (Not-a-Poem-Post) entries are, I guess, blogs in the traditional sense.

I have never been compelled to write anything before. To write an essay, or thesis, or some other assigned writing work in school was always a chore. I didn't enjoy the things I wrote. I was proud of them, yes. Proud moreso that I had the patience to actually sit down and complete said assignment.

I think it is healthy for me to write. For me to read, as I write, the things that I am feeling as they surge through my head. That is a healthy thing. I have not told anyone about this blog, this diary of sorts. I so badly want the world to read the things I have written. I want to share the hurt, the pain, the joy, the bliss...

I titled the blog .poEMbrace. I wouldn't call the entries I have written POEMS in the traditional sense. Yes, they rhyme and have a meter or patter.... but... so... I guess they are, in fact, poems.

I am embracing. Brace yourselves.
