It's possible to love life and see the world for what it is, if we don't flinch away from the truth.

I absolutely agree.

I mainly write poetry about nature, and my personal spiritual affinity for the natural world, because that is where I find the most wonder in life often, and it is fantastic to celebrate that beauty in poetry.

But every now and then one of these truth poems comes flowing out, and you're right, it very often defeats fear and depression to face problems head on in the best way you feel is possible.

For me, it has always been writing where I can best put across these views. Lol, I'd be rubbish trying to speak up on stage about this type of stuff 🙂
