The Beauty In Writing

The Beauty In Writing

A Poem by Bailey C. Writing
"

I'm proud to call myself a writer :) A writer knows exactly what I'm talking about here.

"
When you are writing, you are painting a picture
Making the words in your head more than a whisper
Putting a scene in someone's head
Saying things formerly left unsaid
You are creating a completely new world
Letting your imagination come unfurled
Your mind is in a better place
It's like you're floating in outer space
You have something to pour your heart into
Your writing telling what is really true
It's when you let yourself go
Writing or typing, letting the words flow
Writing something that touches the soul
Where the writing is the one in control
Only a writer could understand
The real meaning of a pen in your hand
Let yourself take the notebook off that shelf
Let the writing save you from yourself

You nailed this idea perfectly! Very relatable. And read like a charm. The only thing I really see is that the word "yourself" is used in two lines in a row at the end. Perhaps that was intentional, but it sounds a little repetitive. I'm sure you did it to preserve the flow, but maybe that's something you could play with a little. Overall, fantastic job!

Hi CobyCoyle. This was a delightful entry to read, depicting the trauma of writing and learning to relax as words pop into the head without masses of encouragement from the writer. I found your sentiments well expressed, alf

this reminds me of some words in "finding forrester"--
when poetry is written with the heart...it flows...we just punch the keys and the words almost write themselves...
and the best thing in writing is when we look at something we have just written...before anyone else even gets to see it and tear it down or tell us what they think it is...

nothing like writing...thanks for writing this.

Nicely said! It really does feel the exact way that you described it. Writing helped me a lot with my emotions and find it as the best way for self-help.

Great poem, hope you win the competition with this one.... :)

Aw, that's really beautiful.
I really like the line "Only a writer could understand
The real meaning of a pen in your hand",
I love the thought behind it.
Well done =)

So true.
I myself live to write fantasy, and so when you said we write to create a completely new world, you had me captivated.
