Do you write poetry?

I love writing poems but I haven't really been feeling inspired lately. Do you have a favorite poem you've written or read?

I used to write poetry all the time then I noticed I had stopped for a long time...years actually. I realized that my source of inspiration for my poems was the suffering and confusion that came from living with my mental illness. When I started meds and got stable I didn't have my inspiration anymore. Lately I haven't been doing well and voila I've been writing poetry again. Still I'd give up writing poems for stability any day.

@Ananke I totally understand that. I feel that my poems were at their best when I was going through traumatic situations or dealing with the depression from said experiences.
I'm sorry you haven't been doing well. Hopefully things will get better and be alright again
