Hi Victoria ,

I am new to this site. You're my first read!  Critique? i'd better leave that for the experts.  Encourage and discuss? Great !   

Under your name I read poetry. Please excuse my ignorance, but the paragraph you wrote; is it a type of poetry? I enjoyed what you wrote. It reads like a pep talk to yourself. I was recently encouraged to begin journalling as a form of  unburdening, untangling emotions of sorrow, fear, stress, etc...

" I'm not sure what I'm working for but I have to keep going, even though it gets rough and I just want to lay down and rest "  I hear you!  It is O.K.  not to know what your working / striving for.  Reading all types of good literature, authors; submitting a part of yourself in writing for strangers to peruse.  Wow; that's gutsy.  My personal version of your above quote is, " If I can just get started on what really needs to get done ...  It's focussing on the ' needs doing '  that is hard for me. 

" I can't start panicking or stressing out "  But you may.  Know that it will pass. Get some exercise. Do try and give yourself downtime; get the rest you need. God DOES have it all under control. He will not let you fall. 

Keep up the good work,

Hey! Victoria!

I really liked your poem and like the comment above I thought it read sort of like a pep talk to your self! It was fun to read and really was motivating. Is it a certain type of poetry though? Just wondering. 

"Sometimes I feel as if its too much, Im not sure what I'm working for but I have to keep going even though it gets rough and I just want to lay down and rest but I have to keep going!" I especially like that part. 

I really liked your whole poem in general and thought, like I said before, that it was motivating and upbeat!

So keep up the good work and keep writing!

 Hi there. I really liked that. We all do that sometimes. Talk to ourselves.

I think you need to add more to it. Too short. Its great.

Well done.

warm hugs Sherry
