A Poem A Day #512

This week for Poems a Day, I’m going to share some poems from my fellow bloggers, because the creative world is all about not only creating, but sharing 🙂

Before the Spring by Wuji Seshat Nibada

Victory is an optimism
That can withstand doom
It’s not something you get by yourself

It’s something shared
Like a dialogue from those….

A Poem A Day #509

I Wrote Today

I wrote today,
Only thirty minutes.
It was about silly things,
Trivial things,
Matters of the heart
And matters concerning doubt.
I wrote today
Because I was angry.
I wondered why
I could not write more,
Why it hurt so much
To put words to thoughts.
I wrote today
About why the world
Was as it is.
Couldn’t it be better?
Must the thing I love the most
Be the hardest to create?
How my heart ached.
I wrote today
To numb the pain,
Unaware that I only made more.
Words were pain;
Words were also delight.
While my heart burned inside,
It also soared.
So I wrote today,
Because it’s what I do best.
Though everything hurt,
I wrote anyway.

Future 15 (Last one!): Strive to Inspire

My life dream

One of my ultimate life goals is to inspire. Inspire anything; mainly creativity. I want to move people to think and create. Part of me believes I was meant to be so, to be an encourager and inspirer. It’s a lifelong goal, so I’ll always be going after it.

Don’t ever give up on your dreams. Like C.S. Lewis said, you’re never too old to set a new goal or dream a new dream.

5 (more) things I’ve learned about myself

There’s always more to learn! In the past couple of months these are a few new things I’ve learned about myself:

  1. I’m very ambitious. Ideas just fly through my head, and I’m always thinking of new things I could do or should attempt. I love this about me. Others have told me that they notice I’m always going after something, and I hope to be an inspiration to them in this way.
  2. I’m great at creative planning, but terrible at executing. My role in big projects (or really in anything) is the planning and creating process, when I can be creative and imaginative and not have any here-and-now pressure pressing on me. That’s where I’m strong. I’m weak in the execution, or when I have to take charge. I create it, and then I pass it on to someone who is strong in leading.
  3. I’m a romantic thinker. I guess it comes with being a writer. I’m always daydreaming about anything and everything, and they often are dramatic and flamboyant and seem to belong in a movie.
  4. I have a subconscious preference for all things natural. And not just in food. In everything. I’ve come to notice that I will habitually snub my nose at something that’s not natural and reach for something that is. I don’t mind this trait at all.
  5. I (may) have become halfway vegetarian. By halfway I mean I’ve given up on some meats but not all. All I can eat now without getting a headache and feeling sick is chicken and fish, and occasionally turkey. I don’t really mind this. I do not feel like I’m missing out on anything in any way.

I wonder what new discoveries of myself I will make in the future?

The streaming reason for living

“Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because it’s the answer to everything. … It’s the streaming reason for living. To note, to pin down, to build up, to create, to be astonished at nothing, to cherish the oddities, to let nothing go down the drain, to make something, to make a great flower out of life, even if it’s a cactus.”
—Enid Bagnold
