Poetry was an outlet

[Sasha06]

During high school, poetry kinda happened to me. Meaning it would just be there in my head and I would write it down. For example, and this is the same one I will share here, in 10th grade we had to make a poem for english. We had 5 minutes to think of something and write it down. I had mine down in less than a minute. It just flowed through and out of me onto the paper. Because of this I now keep a notebook with me as often as possible incase inspiration happens. I have made a little book for the ones I think are the better ones and have shared it with a few over the years.

The Dream

Pushing his way into the light
Attempting to jump with all his might
Trying to find the way to go
He doesn't seem to really know
Oaisis and Visions hold him back
Running behind the powers he lack
Always reaching twords his goal
Hoping that nothing breaks his soul
Opening the door to his mind
Ever ahead of those behind
