#JustStart Experience

‘Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.’ Robert Frost

When I was young, I had this habit of writing personal diary where I would write about my daily happenings or how I felt towards a certain experience, thing or a person. At first I wrote this to keep a track of things but with the passage of time, it became a gateway for me to escape into an imaginary world where it was only me. If I felt bad about a certain thing or I went through a bad experience or someone betrayed me or did something bad, I would write about it and would eventually feel good because, you know, when you let things out of your heart, you feel light as a feather. Since I had no one back then whom I could trust with my heart (except my family but obviously you cannot share everything with them)so I started this whole escapism thing.

Later on I tried to write a poem and it turned out a great experience. I told people about it and they liked my poem very much. It was then that I realized that I have this talent. So why not utilizing it for something good?

Now I have this deep desire to be a writer/poet. I feel like that the best thing you can do, is to help people. With my words, I can do this on a larger scale. I want to fill colors in someone’s black and white pictures or be someone’s sunshine on a rainy day. I know what’s it like to have no one by your side in the worst of your times and how it feels to be rejected when all you want is acceptance.

I want to write poems so that the people who would read them would feel that yes, there is someone who knows us, understands us. I want to write poems that they could relate to on their good and bad days.

I wrote two poems this week , you know, to just start it. The poems that I wrote are on two different topics.

This is a poem that describes the feeling when you lose a person who was very near and dear to you. All you want is to just change the time but that is not possible.

This poem is dedicated to friends for always being there and helping in every dark hour and walking with you through every thick and thin.

I hope that you like these poems.
