Day 8 of 30 Days of MD Topic: Poem About MD This is @writingpoemsinthedark’s story: Simply put, I write to connect. Poetry allows me to address and work through topics that would otherwise be too difficult to talk through. The vulnerable nature of my writing allows me to connect with people and reach them where they are. when I’m writing, it's just myself, the paper, my thoughts, and metaphor. #MDAwarenessMonth #MDAwareness #30DaysofMD
