God, all I want is safety

I was given a prompt to write this poem, the prompt was to write a request to God, but I didn’t know what to write because I am not religious and I had no requests. I started writing randomly, and a rough draft of this poem came about. I was not going to submit this poem to CYA because I didn’t feel a strong connection to it, but then my grandma passed away and I decided to finish it. My poem is about wanting to know that you will be ok when you die, and to know that the people you have lost are safe. Once I found the message that I wanted to convey, it was easy to finish the poem.

What creativity means to me is being original and putting your emotions into your work without being banal. Creativity is enjoying what you do and using your own thoughts and ideas to do it.
