Inspiration

Today, during Mrs. Morrison's class I was thinking as I was writing in my journal; why do I personally enjoy poetry writing? The sad part is, that what most people don't realize when you write poetry, it's like you're baring your own soul, for others, your own peers to see. After I spent about seven minutes of the time alotted for our journal writing I thought of a poem off of the top of my head. So... here it is...

Poetry

Poetry is a way to help achieve goals,

By using self-expression,

To bare your own soul,

Show your own obsession!

Let your inspiration go to red hot coals,

Let it teach a lesson,

Not one to be learned,

But a rythm, a flow,

Let you personality show!

I think it's easier to express yourself in a way that not all people will understand. Believe me, I've been writing poetry since I was about ten years-old and when you get yourself to the heat of the moment, whether it being sad, or angry, you have a tendency to write things that are really deep. The only problem with hiding that though, is people in general miss out on really seeing who you are by your feelings, actions, thoughts, and how would anyone learn anything about anyone else without self-expression?
