Health is not valued till sickness comes… Can you change up the way you think deeper than marrow We got a limit on our time It’s not a secret The sorrow is that we hide it in our minds until we’re dying We’re troubled @d.t.ruth

Hi! A lot has happened in the world since the last time we connected and we have a feeling that many of us are in need of a pick-me-up. After a hiatus that lasted way longer than intended we’ll be opening up again for submissions next month.
In the meantime we’ll be publishing entries from past events and featuring poetry under the #SecretPoetryStash hashtag.
For those of you who are new, Secret Poetry Stash was started in 2014 by @emerlythegreat as a project dedicated to sharing the healing power of poetry with others.
We accept physical submissions from poets and artists, fill “pick-me-up” boxes with the material we receive, and then run giveaways to see who will receive our stash. The boxes are reserved for those in need. In previous years the boxes have gone to chronically ill patients and people going through emotional and mental distress.
We can’t wait to get started and hope to spread some good vibes with your help.
Standing on my own and I can fly wherever I want. Wish that you were with me but you flocked when it cold. I can’t really deny that it was smart to leave me be. I don’t wanna leave you scarred from all my animosity. @d.t.ruth
