So many people ask me about 'my writing' and if I even write anymore. And honestly I have very less to say like it was fun putting out a poetry book of all the shit I wrote, but then it got more personal. Exploring and defining this inner monologue, and also exploring how do I get to write a more realistic work as I grow. My inspirations, criticism and so much more. So I've been writing but it's just not upto that mark yet to show you.
Okay but I wanted to try a fun writing exercise and I logged into ChatGPT. Here's a poetry prompt I was given:
And here's what I wrote:
Did June come with a realization for you too?
Does the calendar on the wall say December of 2022?
And this summer
Was it meant to resurrect the last one?
Or the light just blinded sights?
Dreams dreamt disappeared in the skies
When did I stop trying?
I did
'Cause things are ending
But I can tell how it's the beginning
Of all the things I've ghosted in life
And when I'm picking speed at 70
the roads seem to be asking
me which way I'm going
and I realize it's been years since I've criedSo if you see me in an empty parking lot
Staring at nothing
Just know that I got this- I'm fine
When I shed a tear
'Cause I'm not
'Cause I'm notThen in a not so empty coffee shop
Before we were even over
I could see her tears streaming down
Highs so high, I can't seem to go low
Hands in mine and hearts
Shattering into pieces I can't find
So you think I'll lose it forever?Also once back in my room
What greeted me once, died
So I fill the void with feelings
Sharps & whites to accompany the hymn
Black ink writes tales of what has come to be
The feeling of failing myself I avoid
What once was, can be alive
The fear still has me tied
But the moments never missed
For life-
Is what we live
Everyday
It's not the best.
Obviously. It's not a draft though, I went over this a few times.
I wanted to talk about the realisation of somethings this year and how sitting through the emotions and have a positive insight about everything just gets you through the thing. It is also apt to understand these feelings and what you think of yourself.
I wish I could tell you more about the motive, inspiration of this poem but I have two exams next week and I need to study haha.
More soon..
