Do I Only Write Stories?

When I started writing in 4^thgrade, I was not good. It wasn’t that I sucked at it; It was how it was introduced to me. The teacher really didn’t like it, so her way of explaining it was to the best of her ability. Luckily, when 5^thgrade came around, I was a beast. Every writing essay that I was given was returned to me with an A+ every time. Seeing that I was actually getting better and better each time gave me so much ambition to write more and more. 

Later down the line, my classmates and I were introduced to poems. I fell in love with how versatile you could be with your writing. I was always trying to figure out what words would rhyme together. Until, one day my teacher told us that we could freestyle. I began studying about the different type of poems. Everywhere I went, from the park to the store, I would type lines in my phone to put together poems when I reached home. The way my mind would articulate very distinct descriptions of my thoughts, actions, or sceneries around me would help me in writing my poems. 

Growing older I would write poems about a lot of things such as: teenage problems, family problems, love, pain, hard times, nature, fun times, etc. One thing I love about poems is that it takes your mind however far you are willing to go. I love finding me a quiet place to sit and just write from the heart. If you have a hard time expressing your feelings, I would highly recommend writing poems. You may find it very therapeutic; I know I do!
