Let's Write

I was not a big fan of poet or writer but I appeared to be one of them. For me poetry was just some stack of words in need of exaggeration which I felt a lot during my literature classes. I used to google the phrase and paraphrase it so that my teacher would let me breathe in class. There was a separate class just dedicated to writing poem which I completely ignored and did not take it. I unwillingly for the first time wrote a poem in 8th grade for the school magazine as it was mandatory and after that I wrote a poem for my assignment directly in 10th grade. The only thing I knew about poetry that time was rhythm and length. I sugar coated the words and rhymed it so well even I was proud of it. I got praised by my teacher for the poem. After that I started writing poem of the relevant and burning topics. I showed it to my teacher and she was very proud of her student dedication towards poetry so she corrected and nurtured me. It was the turning point for me. The words were exactly what my ears were yearning to hear, so I could get started with writing. Continuing further, I was able to interpret the poem on my own and I connected every dots to come up with the conclusion of the topic. I did post my poem in social media and I was amazed by the positive comments. It made me realize how capable I am and the more I got readers the more I got inspired to jot down my thoughts and transform it into poems.

“I don't read books, I read people.”

Once a friend of mine asked me if I take stories from book for reference to write poem related to life and I answered that. I felt cool for a while but it was that moment when I realized there's more to get through life and there's more to discover and the only thing to guide me throughout the life without passing any judgement is the book. I have always wanted to write a fiction book but I end up leaving it incomplete. I admire the writers who dedicate their time in continuing to write their piece. It is something to be proud of and rejoice. When someone acknowledge the power of words, I sense the glory of intense creative world. It is also intriguing for me how a poem can tell the whole story of a person and can fix people. I feel like I am more expressive through my writings rather than in person.

The prologue of every story is set and understood beforehand but the epilogue depends on the writer's intention. The same goes for life as we are the one holding the pen. I sometime wish it was a pencil instead, so we could just erase some part but that is what which makes life beautiful and worth experiencing.
