So, I haven’t written any poetry in a very long time. This morning, I wanted to write something, anything. So I sat down and wrote a poem. It’s a short one, but it’s something to get the ball rolling and keep me engaged with writing.
It’s been a while
Since I’ve sat down,
I came down from the clouds
Had to be on the ground.
I had to grow
And become an adult,
To learn their ways,
But not join the cult.
I had to keep my freedom,
Write for myself,
Take my creativity
Down off the shelf.
It keeps me going,
It keeps me alive,
So that I may live,
Not simply survive.
