Shoe Box World

My poem, “Shoe Box World”, was created on a whim one night. It describes the uncomfortable time spent between chapters in life, when one is not ready to let go of the comforts of past moments, but knows the only way to happiness is forward. This poem, like many I write, started with an inexplicable emotion I could not dissect. By writing what comes to mind while sitting in a feeling I cannot place, I am able to understand what causes the emotion. This creative process creates a certain peace that I cannot find elsewhere.

Expressing creativity allows me to learn more about myself and my thought process. It helps me work through idea I am struggling with or emotions I want to understand better.
