Dream Darling

When I first started writing, it came out as poetry. I never knew how to write or even read poetry. I never bothered to learn because I didn’t think it’d be significant. Well, It was. I didn’t think I would find my passion so early and so easily. And I did. My senior year, my English teach was the best teach I ever had. I didn’t pay attention in all my other three classes, but in this one I felt drawn to. I was excited every time I went to her class. All her assignments were writing assignment (of course, she’s an English teacher), but her assignments dug a little deeper than the surface. Which made my creativity flow. I started writing on my own and showing her to read. She loved them and that only begin the months of me just writing and writing. I figured out I no longer wanted to be a forensic psychologist or a lawyer, but instead a writer. As I started writing more and more, using the pain I had stored in me, I had released it in a book. I only started to get more creative.

Music lyrics are like poetry, especially Lana Del Rey. I wrote my poetry or writings similar to her, not on purpose, but I believe we both feel so intensely the words come out beautifully. usually when I write, I write in or silence or the dead of night when words start popping up in my head. As I started to listen to music as I wrote, I intentionally made myself get into the energy of the song, but myself in their position and make me feel it. I’d re-write the song based of a lyric that I felt the most. Or I’d take the lyrics I really feel I could make something out of and rewrite it completely. This soon became my favorite way to write. I love that music and writings can both be interrupted any kind of way. What you feel may not be what I felt, but at least I felt something.

The next time you are having a blockage, listen to music as you write and feel that emotion from the sound of their voice.

Poem I Wrote From If I Die Young

Dawn

As we laid in the grass

With flowers surrounding us 

Eyes never looking away

I can see in your eyes

You’re not okay

Its our last day

Maybe if we don’t speak

It’ll hurt a little less

We can’t seem move 

Knowing once we go 

We’ll forever have this bruise

As the night got colder

So did you shoulder

No longer looking at me

But staring into the trees

Eventually you got up

And that’s the last id 

Hear of you 

You couldn’t stay 

A brand new feeling appeared

Its dark and I’m scared

No longer butterflies 

They have died

Along with the flowers

The worms got the power

Its past dawn

And I still lie

Waiting for my reality

To just be a lie 

The earth I am now part of

I close my eyes

To let the memories sink in

A hollow sound where love 

Has been 

As I once quaked for life

I let the quiet pain begin 

Goodbye my old friend

This is where I end 

Love Always, Dream Darling
