So recently I've gotten into Doki Doki Literature Club, a super good video game that isn't what it seems. Anyway, one character in the game, Monika, gives you some advice:
"Sometimes, when you're writing a poem - or a story - your brain gets fixated on a specific point. If you try so hard to make it perfect, then you'll never make any progress. Just force yourself to get something down on the paper, and tidy it up later! Another way to think about it is this: if you keep your pen in the same spot for too long, you'll just get a big dark puddle of ink. So just move your hand, and go with the flow!"
This actually helped me a lot.
This poem was a bit accidental. I came up with like, the first three lines and just went from there.
I hope you enjoy!

THE EDGE
I stand at the edge
Staring into the darkness
Watching, waiting
I'm not sure what I'm waiting for
But I have a feeling
A curious feeling
An apprehensive feeling
A feeling of importance
So I stand at the edge
Staring into the darkness
Watching, waiting
Sometimes I wonder if I'm wrong, and that I shouldn't be waiting
Or if it's waiting for me instead, and I should go to it
Maybe I should go find it; walk into the darkness and call out
I take a step towards the edge
But something pulls me back
A little voice inside my head, telling me:
"It is not your time."
So I step away from the edge
Look up into the darkness
And walk away
Knowing that when my time does come,
Whatever was in the darkness
Will come find me
And we will leave this place forevermore

Music In Me
PoetryJust a book of song lyrics that have popped up in my mind; not necessarily part of an actual song that I wrote but just stuff that would fit in a song nicely. Also some poetry here and there because who doesn't love some poetry, am I right?
