So true, poet. I am thankful, that I, like you, use words to convey our thoughts and feeling. We have been blessed with a talent that allows us to share our love and compassion with others by letting them know in the form of poetry just how much we care.
This is an insightful and inspiring piece of poetry dear jaybird! I love the positive Outlook andxhow you have managed to fill hope into out veins!

A great sentiment, although I have to say that what tends to p[our from my pen is gloom and doom!
Just a thought that this could possibly be improved by extending the simile in the first line (words like paint and brush) into the later parts of the poem...
I love the feeling when I'm writing and the words are flowing. But there are some slow days as well when it feels as though I've lost my train of thought. Another well written piece, I definitely agree that writing can enhance your life. I enjoyed reading it.
A poem with a nice rhyming scheme, my preference. Good advice to lift the spirits which could improve the day of someone down in the dumps. I guess you're right, writing does concentrate the mind and helps one to forget any problems they face. Great writing. ~Mel~
This is quite an encouraging poem. I appreciate how you started with yourself (I use my words...), then you move to make it universal (things we must face...), and finally direct your advice to the reader (If you find yourself feeling low...).
I also like that you said to "grab pen and paper," as I believe the act of writing (not typing) connects your hand to your brain and heart. I will take your advice!
The flow was a little bumpy at times. But only at human race / feeling low. A true theme most artists I think find expression very calming and healing. I do anyway.
I totally agree with you. I think that with the proper words, whether spoken or written, they can alter your entire situation. (your mood, your day, your whole life) Words are power. I love this poem. God bless you. -January L. :)
Your words ate so true, writing can take us to a good place and lift our spirits. I enjoyed reading this poem and it should be placed where many can read it, such great advice. You have a smooth flow of words and verses.
