I have experienced things at a young age that no one should ever have to experience. As a child, I found writing to be a healthy outlet for the things I was feeling. I grew up and found true love. With my husband, we started a family and raised our children together. I was then injured at work in 2021 and was diagnosed with a condition, as a result of the injury, known as CRPS. I found myself again in need of a healthy outlet. As I continue to fight this battle with CRPS, I wanted my poetry to not just be an outlet. I wanted to share my writings so that it may also help others. Poetry can be entertaining, but it can also be healing. I may have CRPS, but CRPS does not have me!

Heavy Chains

All it takes is a single moment, a slip, a twist, a fall.
A signal travels from your brain, nothing will be the same.
Maybe you had surgery, or simply a small injury.
If you broke a bone or stubbed a toe, nothing is too big or small.

That...

Thank you for your response. When you click on "Enter Here" under "Poetry Contest" and read from the "How does it work?" paragraph, you will find this sentence..... "
Submit an original poem or choose one of your existing poems from the site."..... This suggests that you can submit a poem already on the site to the contest. Someone also sent me an email informing me that this site has not worked out all their kinks yet. That person then also suggested that I delete my poem. When I resubmit it, I will then be given an option to add it to the contest. I would rather not delete my poem. I hope this site finds a way for us to actually submit it to contest without me having to do that.

Is there a way to add a poem already on this site to the poetry contest? I wanted to submit my poem "Heavy Chains", but it said there was already a poem with that title. To promote you can select your already written poem, but I don't see this as an option for the contest page. Can someone help me with how to upload an existing poem from the site to the contest page? "Submit an original poem or choose one of your existing poems from the site."
