A poem I wrote in my creative writings class :) -

I did some thinking lately. I have had some writer's block, and decided to do a writing exercise. The exercise was centered around looking into yourself and realizing who you are and how you are feeling with certain issues, then just writing a "Where I'm From" poem until you run out of things to write or exhaust 25 mins. I came up with something I am pretty happy with. I wanted to share it, so here you all go. -A

"I-I.. don't remember," I said. Why couldn't I remember my own name? Have I ever had a name? Where the heck am I? I was in a strange room with no door. I was trapped. I couldn't get out. Who were these strangers, lying unconscious in the other corners of the room? Verose and her two cousins go an a camping trip when something unexpectedly happens. The three of them go on a journey through distant worlds.

Based on the famous George Ella Lyon poem "Where I'm From". One of my class assignments required me to use this template and fill it in with moments and objects that represent the times in my life that has shaped my personality. enjoy, thank for reading!
