We were assigned to write a free verse poem in my expressive writing class and going into the writing process, I was freaking out. I had no idea where to start or what to start writing about. Honestly, I was stressed to the max. None of my pieces were coming together, including lyrics I was trying to write for my music. At the time I felt incredibly down and this writers block made me feel so uncreative. I was thinking of pursuing careers in writing and music when I couldn't even write simple poems or songs. It devastated me. Eventually, I just began writing exactly what I felt at that moment, and this was the result. Instantly I felt better. After the first few lines, it just poured out me. It wasn't until editing the first draft that I added the final lines about life. Writing this poem was so therapeutic. I found my color, I found my words, and I found strength in the life around me.
