If you asked me four months ago if I liked to create poetry, I would've laughed in your face. I've always thought that writing wasn't my thing. I'm just 14; poetry isn't something for young people, right? That's what society wanted me to believe.
But then, one rainy afternoon, I found myself with a pen in hand and an empty notebook before me. Words flowed like a secret river, and phrases formed effortlessly. It was as if my thoughts had been waiting for this chance to escape, and suddenly, poetry became my unexpected companion.
I realized that age doesn't define the connection one can have with words. In the verses I penned, I discovered a way to express feelings that seemed too complex for ordinary conversation. It turned out, poetry wasn't just for the literary elites or the older crowd; it was a language of emotions that anyone, even a 14-year-old like me, could speak.
Now, I find myself eagerly crafting lines, weaving my own narratives, and embracing the beauty of words. Turns out, poetry isn't bound by age or societal expectations; it's a universal art, waiting to be explored by anyone willing to let their thoughts dance on paper.
