ColourMine Creativity and Self-Expression
I’m hoping to show you that everything you do,
Everything you see
Is your very own unique immersive story
We all have that same ability to open up and let it run free
Don’t be afraid to write it all down
Occasionally you need to earn that frown
Whether it’s laughter, joy or tears, maybe even just a few fears
Believe it or not, it all comes from your core
That’s an exceptionally huge store
Just when you think you’re all done, it goes up to your brain
There’s more getting ready to come again
All the feelings you have in you
They all play a part in your life and carry on through Sometimes your laughter turns to tears Sometimes you just need to recognise your fears My life here is just that too, experienced and written by me For you to view Twenty-five years it has taken me to let it free, To find my voice, please don’t take so long to find yours, Go on, make the choice, write own your feelings, Your hopes, your fears – make sure you don’t forget the cheers Wherever you are you can write it for you; just carry a notebook. Write a blog or even just give a nod There’s always that special someone; they may be far away Either in distance, or in some long-ago relationship In which you played just remember somewhere, Wherever you go, record your thoughts Even if it snows
Do a post on Facebook
Instagram or in fact anything digital, sometimes it will rush
Sometimes it will go extremely slow, never mind it doesn’t matter
Whether it’s a line or two, maybe it’s a whole page
Just let it flow; that way you can let it roam
This will be the start of your own personal journey of creativity
Please know you are not on your own
And doing this will gradually help you to grow
It’s not wrong to write in anger
In fact, it’s really good to let it go free
Because once it’s out, you will gradually feel stronger
Then you will be more able to cope, with that reducing misery
Just pick a subject, write down how you feel
Life will get easier, you know it will
You may be full of guilt
Because you are still here, don’t worry that’s just part of fear
As for me, am I angry, yes, I am still because some of life’s challenges
Still hit me with their morbid thrill, death doesn’t ever release its claim
On anger, or memories and doesn’t remove that immersive emotional stain
But it’s so much milder not so quick to show
And no, it doesn’t completely go
But I’m hoping to help you see that you’re not the only one
To experience these things emotionally
I have too but I made a choice and now as you can see,
I have finally started opening up to being me
I would love for you
To consider joining me when you decide
To grow your own voice, poems and storytelling
You may already have; go on, exploit that gift
Just consider, saying yes, will you join me?
On our joint inspirational ColourMine journey?
Shall we start with a nice cup of tea?
ColourMine is happy here, write for free,
Find your voice, let’s get started
You and me . . .
