Document Summary
The one thing i believe people would be shocked to know about me is my passion for poetry. Instinctively, people do not connect the idea of poetry with an athlete of a competitive nature. People perceive athletes as disciplined, competitive, persevering individuals that are mentally tough. People do not correlate these characteristics with those that write poetry and are artistic, sensitive and profound. Balance between both lifestyles is important to developing self-control and a positive attitude. A poem, in its entirety, is a way one expresses their views on the universe, life and emotion. To me, poetry is an outlet to express my ideas and experiences to others. To transfer emotion from the writer to the paper and then to the reader is not an easy task. Poetry, and like many other forms of writing, needs inspiration. Ideas are endless as we try to capture the world around us in poetry.
