My Take On Poetry And Why You Should Read It

Poetry is like the air you breathe.

When it comes to writing, you kind of feel out of place at times. One of the main reasons is because you aren't real sure what to write about or what genre you should be writing in. Here is my take: write poetry, it's easy and will get you straight to the point.

I write poetry, and I am not afraid to say that. Will it get me money? Probably not. However, it is a great past time. Here is a small example of my own poetry:

"In a land down under,

Where weeds barely grow,

And the land hardly salvaged

From the last touch of man.

That's where the grave of man lies.

Underneath the dry earth,

In between the cracks,

Where the debts of demons are added

And loaded into accounts

Of their victims,

There lies a sense of character.

A character both evil

And good,

With a temper as hard as steel."

For me to write all of that, it took me a while. It probably took me about a month to pen all of those words together to create one poem that is relatable to not only me but to my audience.

Now, for the sake of writing, write that poem and don't look back, if you do you may regret it.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
