growing sideways
weekly poem | on searching for light
Hello dear reader!
I don’t usually upload my poem in image form, but this week I really wanted to preserve some formatting that Substack wouldn’t allow for. However, if you read using a screen reader, then you can find this week’s poem over here! Now on to the poem.
GROWING SIDEWAYS
Simply beautiful, and I love the creative formatting!
Growing sideways is another way of naming that growth, progress, grief, etc are never linear lines. My life trajectory and transition from childhood to adulthood has been anything but a straight and traditional path, but instead something that curves and wobbles and strays away from the path forward.
Thank you for sharing!
The formatting enhances the poetry ❤️. Growing sideways - it would mean accepting unplanned detours and trajectories in life and going with the flow.
