This Short poem represents my personal. Paper House the name of my poem goes into how I use my penmanship as an escape and as a way to cope. but as you continue to read the poem you soon learn that the things you go to confide in. in your moments of grief can also grant you the same amount of grief in return. Although the grief I speak of in his poem is not directly translated to the death of a loved one. Grievances can be caused by many things and this poem talked about my grievances with writing. I have struggled with a lot of grievances in my short life and one outlet I found that I could always confide in was writing. I loved writing poems and stories portraying how I felt but sometimes. I would hate writing I would be upset to write about how I feel and I would wish that I could just express myself verbally I wish that writing wasn't the only way I could be heard and felt that way writing soon changed from freedom to my captor. This impacted my life drastically like how most grievances do. because when I lost the will to write I lost my voice alongside it. I don't know if you know what it is like to feel like you have no power or dominion but the best way I can describe it is like being the only person in a room who doesn't know the answer when the teacher calls on you in front of the whole class. It was very hard for me to learn how to speak again without feeling trapped and not relying on writing forced me to start finding my voice. learning how not just to speak when spoken to but to speak with purpose. When I finally was able to find my authentic voice I slowly started to be able to write again. I was able to turn what I had thought was my captor back into my paper home. This whole process helped me learn that nothing last forever. Every cycle no matter how big or small will come to an end. I learned to make peace with myself and I learned that good ultimately rises from the darkness.
