To Flee

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.

Poetry allows me to make my emotions and stories into something that I can share with people. I get to process and express the things I observe or experience in a way that is fun and rewarding.
