I was told once
I have a strong talent in writing
And with it I can do many good things
Anyone and everyone
With the talents they possess
Can choose to spread good or bad into the world
If more people chose to spread good
Simply through their hobbies and talents
I believe the world would be a better place
Do we not all wish that in some point of our lives?
It is not only geniuses
Who can change what is around them
You have a talent
You have a hobby
You have a strength, and interest
A knack for something
You can choose to use it for good
With it you can bring peace to yourself
Composure to those around you
Because you never know who is listening
Poetry is one of many ways
To express feelings
A solution for pressure from within to release
An opportunity to bring a smile to a face
Or maybe even to wake up the lazy world around you
Seem to good to be true?
That's what everyone thought about history's famous writers
Doubt disables progress and possibility
Don't be the doubt
I was told once I have a strength to write
And with it I can do many good things
Granted I'm not the most experienced poet
But I remember at least how enjoyable it is
And if it is
Then why should I shun a talent any further?
