My Passion
By IS
The passion I have for writing is a feeling of peace and tranquility
The desire to inspire myself ambitiously
A sense of freedom without actually being free
Unlocking my chains with this poetic key
Exceeding beyond this feeling of imprisonment
My mind directs these orchestrated sentences.
Creatively creating these lines of inspiration
Carefully planting my seed on this literary plantation
I open the eyes to many who listen
A 19 year old convict writing from prison
Forever devoted to this paper and pen
My passion…My love…My new best friend.

I loved reading your poem. Keep writing! 🙂
IS,
I have come across this poem as part of a college course aimed at community engagement.
Wow, just wow. The line “Unlocking my chains with this poetic key” is so beautiful. It’s also so beautiful that you’ve found writing to be a passion during such a hard time of your life. I hope you continue to write and find peace through your writing. You’re so talented. You talk about inspiring yourself, but your poem is inspiring to anyone who reads it! Poems and all different forms of writing and are great way to find a sense of freedom in a hard situation. Thank you for letting the world read your words!
This poem is enjoyable to read because the author is telling the readers what they like and feels strongly about. Writing is peaceful and I like it because once I start a paper I get so involved and focused I just crank out the assignment. Freedom is used in many ways even directed at people that are not free to live their lives the way they want to. My work is my passion and that’s why I love it, if I didn’t like it there wouldn’t be a reason to keep pushing. You got this and remember the best is yet to come!
