You, Me, and the Waves

When I was taking creative writing last year, I struggled quite a bit since I never liked writing in the first place but taking that class changed me and help me think of writing as an art form. This year as a senior, I found writing my personal statements and supplements pretty fun. This poem was something I wrote earlier this year, during the process of writing this I never knew what the outcome would be and just like the waves my writing just went with the flow. And somehow my hands brought me to a poem about unrequited love which is a little bit funny because I was the happiest ever during that time. I had just came back from a trip in Hawai. I really loved the clear blue waters and decided to use that for the overall theme of my poem. This poem was written to mimic the way Walt Whitman used to write his poems the repetition, the lone lines written in free verse. This one of my favorite poems I've ever written and I'm happy to share it.

Creativity means to me being authentic, expressing yourself, and going with the flow.
