surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
A Writer’s Domain
For as long as I could recall; I’ve always had an interest in writing poetry. Reading and writing however were never my forte—growing up; kids in school made it known to me that I was dumb for not knowing how to read or write and that I wouldn’t amount to anything. At a young age I would write in a journal; it became therapeutic for me to help subside my anxiety and inner pain. I was never good at expressing my feelings verbally as I had developed social anxiety due to the bullying. Over time I began to realize that the more mad—upset—or hurt I was it would reflect in my poetry. They would become more intense and heart wrenching.
