You may have noticed that I just updated my "Poetry - Collection" book. The new poem that I added is called "Withering Roses", and if you know the classic, you may have noticed that it is based off of 'Beauty and the Beast'!
To me it is always such a fun process of writing poetry. Anything you write can turn into another line, which can turn into a verse. Any thought you have can be incorporated in the meaning behind the poem. Any event that has happened in your life, can be reflected in your writing.
This poem in particular actually started off simply with the lines, "I lost myself that night", and "This is a lonely house", based off of songs by the artist 'Munn'. He writes a lot of songs that I connect with personally, as I struggled with my mental health a few years ago. "Withering Roses" not only represents what the beast from the story, but it also reflects the emotions of someone struggling, like I was.
I think that's why writing this poem in particular, resonates so much with me.
I'm curious, are there any poems/stories/songs you have found that reflected perfectly what you were feeling at some point in your life? I'd love to hear from you guys :)
