"Poetry, The Heart of the Soul."

When I started writing poetry for the first time, I thought it was difficult. I thought poetry was for highly intelligent people who can swipe with their words magically. Only people with high education can be a poet.

None of this is true, I learned to try out poetry myself. The more I tried, the more I start loving poetry. I even started to learn - and still learning - new poetry forms I love to try out with my audience. They know exactly what kind of poetry they want to read. No, I can't please all of them. Mainly, I have to write what I love to write about. Most of the time, it is just a feeling I got about something I have experienced, or someone said to me that has a negative impact on my well-being.

When I write poetry, I feel so much relieved about what my emotions are at that moment and in that particular situation. Deep within my heart and in my soul, I feel a lot of things in those moments. I write my feelings into poetry that reassembles my experiences. Sometimes it works well, and sometimes people don't understand but only me.

Poetry is to me something that goes through my blood and veins when I feel whatever I feel in those situations. I need those poems to make, just to feed my soul, to provide my identity, and to know my worth as well.

Poetry feeds the warmth I feel, poetry gives me the warmth I need, and poetry gives me the warmth I want to give others. At the same time, I want to teach - with my poetry - the lessons I learned through my life experiences.

I highly believe in teaching others the lessons I learned throughout my life. Teaching others is something I love to do on smaller occasions, such as conversations with best friends.
