I want to write

I wrote this poem for a school poetry showcase. I had spent days trying to come up with something new and I had no luck. It wasn’t until I thought to myself ”Why am I doing this” that this work was born. I wrote about my struggles with writing and my insecurities about my work. About how others perceive your work can determine how you perceive it yourself. Ironically enough, I was one of the 9 remaining poets who didn’t have time to show their poems. I was upset, and my emotions about not getting to share my poem proved its point; a part of me wants others to hear my work, as much as I pretended I didn’t. I believe their is beauty in the duality of writers, and writing for many reasons is the reason I write.

Creativity is a gift. It’s the gift that allows someone to express themselves in an infinite amount of ways. Whether it’s expressed through a poem or a painting, a dance or a picture, it’s someone’s perspective made just unique to them.
