The Beauty In 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

:3 I was inspired. Constructive criticism is nice :)

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!

I love it. It's beautiful

the rhyme scheme and construction of this poem is awesome, you explained why many of us pick up the pen, this is an ode to every writer that expressed something from inside themselves, amazing.

"You are creating a completely new world
Letting your imagination come unfurled"
Probably the best line of the poem which isn't saying a lot for it.
1) Forced rhyme; it's seriously ruining the beauty of the poem.
2) Nothing exceptional; It's perfectly traditional...doesn't seem inspired.

Bailey, this is amazing! You've captured the true meaning of writing and I loved reading about it! Awesome job.

My favorite line:
When you are writing, you are painting a picture
Making the words in your head more than a whisper

Wow, this was REALLY good. You've captured the essence of why I write :) To express the abstract ideas in my head, and sharing them with others.

I really liked this line:
"You are creating a completely new world
Letting your imagination come unfurled"

It's so true :D
