I’ve never hated poetry. It always came as second nature to me. Writing poems was therapeutic, if I couldn’t say it to someone I just wrote it out. just like everyone, you write poems on pain, political issues, and every other stereotypical reason. I was very serious about writing poetry when I entered the 9th grade, that’s when I started gouging through a lot of family nonsense then. My teacher, Mrs. Noble, would have a mindfulness session where we would sit in silence/peace for 10-15 minutes, some people wold use that for sleep or to do hw that day. One day she asked me to read one of my poems and I did then she loved it so much she got it typed out and laminated, and read it almost everyday. But then I went on a hiatus and never went back til this class.
