First loves inspired my first writings
Battles of insecurities
Mixed with lovesick blues
All poured out onto paper as quickly as they could
Waves of inspirations beating against the currents
Then inspirations went out the door
And out of sight
Then all at once it came back again
A chain reaction
A flood gate opening
A tidal wave of poetry
Poetry then turned to song
Songs I never knew how to structure
Songs that never knew their origin
Came so quickly only to be rewritten time and time again
Then I got in too deep
I rushed out to shore to take a step back
To stop the waves from crashing into me
Until the next storm came
And it started all over again
Art pouring out of me
Left and right words came
Emotions tormented me
All the words I could never say
All went to poetry
