My Writing Process

This will be my first step into Poetry. Always a spectator–it is time to try my hand.

I have always been immersed within creativity. Growing up playing music opened the door to fine art, leading me towards design as my destination. Along the way I dabbled in literature and writing, yet never crafted anything from my interest. Merely harvesting eloquent words and sentences to express the concepts in which my works held. I overlooked this process and never saw the power the words themselves held.

I use to write as a release. Late nights and endless thoughts led way to drifting words. Letting go of these thoughts freed me. Perhaps self satisfying for a mere night's sleep, I let this habit drift away. It had joined the dusted ranks of fine art in my mind. A sense of self-satisfying intent pushed me away from the pencil and canvas.

Diving into thesis brought the realization of the experiences and words that have shaped me. Reminiscing the words which paralyzed me in my youth and those years later which let me fly. I saw Poetry from a new light. A gateway of perspective, crafting emotion and truth. I believe good poetry consist of phrases that move you. Pulling emotions from beneath and painting vivid experiences in your soul. Poetry was the language I've been trying to share wrapped in the emotion I held back.
