I WRITE THEREFORE I AM

I WISH I COULD BE HONEST, AND SAY THAT THE LIFE I LIVE IS ONE I’VE ALWAYS WANTED. BUT THAT WOULD BE FALSE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE ME; WITH MY OWN IDENTITY UNFORTUNATELY SHE NEVER SHINES THROUGH UNLESS I BECOME THE TRUE ME, A POET WHO USES POETRY. TO EXPRESS MINE THOUGHTS ON THE THINGS THE WORLD FEARS TO SAY NEVER AGAIN WILL I LET A DAY, PASS ME BY AND NOT USE THE VOICE THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME THROUGH POETRY. I WRTE THEREFORE I AM I ONCE WAS A SHY GIRL, AFRAID TO SPEAK FOR ME BUT WHEN I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SPEAK POETRY, GUIDED ME GAZING AT THE STARS HOPING TO CHOOSE THE LIFE THAT ASSURES IM NOT TIMID. POETRY GIVES ME THE VOICE TO NOT DABBLE, BUT DIVE IN IT. IN IT? LIFE THAT IS. POETRY GIVES ME A WAY TO CONVEY HOW SIMPLE IT IS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO SHARE THEIR FEELINGS YOUNG PEOPLE WILL NEVER KNOW HOW HANDLE CONFRONTATIONS THROUGH CALM MEANS UNLESS THEY USE POETRY. POETRY IS THE THING THAT GIVES THEM A CHANCE TO DREAM. WRITING YOUR TRUE THOUGHTS, PEN TO PAD, THAT IS WHAT CAN CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON EVERYTHING. I WRITE THEREFORE I AM EVERYONE LISTEN. NEVER LET THE FEAR OF FEELING GET IN THE WAY OF BECOMING YOUR TRUE BEING. IT’S A RISK WORTH TAKING EVEN WHEN YOUR WORLD IS SHAKING AND BREAKING. THINK OF YOUR LIFE AS THE EARTHS TECHTONIC PLATES. THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE BUT ONCE THEY START TO MOVE THEY CREATE AN EPIDEMIC. ALLOW POETRY TO MOVE THE TECHTONIC PLATES OF YOURSELF SO THAT YOU WILL BE YOUR LIFE’S EPIC EVENT. I WRITE THEREFORE I AM
