Inspiration for writing can come from many different external sources when ideas cannot be thought of on the spot. But in this case I did not have to search for inspiration from any article of writing, artwork, setting, or person. Furthermore, my inspiration came from within. It felt clear and tranquil to express my feelings through this poem. Usually, I like to take my experiences into consideration when writing and making connections between my emotions during those experiences. Other times, I enjoy writing about nature, spirituality and interconnectedness. While writing this poem I thought about all the moments that make up our time while we are alive, and how we reflect upon these moments. I consider myself to be a spiritual and compassionate person who perceives life as a cyclical karmic experience and wanted to outline how we feed our emotions such as lust, greed, and attachment, but we forget to do things that open up our minds to much more enlightening experiences. I believe it is important to work towards things that bring purpose to your life, broaden your perspective, and open your heart to all that is around you. This poem is written for the people who let their time in this world pass them by, and do not fully appreciate life. It is for the people who feel lost, and confused because of the cruel ways of the world and try to finally look within themselves rather than external sources to feel satisfaction.
