Write 4–6 lines that begin with: “I never said…” No metaphors required. Write it straight. Write it honest. You can post your lines here, or just read and sit with the prompt. Take your time. Verse & Vibes | AOD Village

Peace! Glad you found your way here. This space exists for people who sit with words, whether you write them, feel them, or are learning how to speak what’s been quiet. There’s no rush to perform and no expectation to share before you’re ready. Take your time. Read. Listen. Let the room introduce itself. If you want to say hello, drop a comment: - What brought you here? - Do you write, listen, or both? - What’s been sitting heavy or alive for you lately? We’ll share verses, prompts, and moments for reflection as we go. This community grows through participation, not perfection. Glad you’re here. Let's Build! @AOD Village
