Turn Pain Into Your Superpower

Do I actually belong here?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
By 16, I had been to 3️⃣ high schools.😬
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
School 1️⃣ told the story of emotional bullying with extra lessons in exclusion. I felt isolated and afraid.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As for School 2️⃣ the open wounds from school 1️⃣ hadn't even started to heal.
Ever seen a wounded animal? Yeah, that was me. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now School 3️⃣ to my utter shock, I actually made some friends. Bonded even, but still, I seemed to be an easy target for a few kids and as soon as I was 16... You guessed it. School BYE 👋
 
I lost myself or rather found myself in writing. I would write my own stories and act out entire plays. I created my own tv talk show and built an entire world from my mind.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Perhaps it was escapism or maybe I just wanted to belong. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was lucky enough to have a loving family and honestly, if this hadn't been the case I dread to think where I would have ended up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because I see how this allowed me to explore my inner pain in a safe environment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Still, outside of the home and my imaginary worlds, I felt lonely. I really just wanted to be part of their world.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be heard... Be seen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't we all want this? To feel part of something. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
CONNECT?!!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily I found it when I went to study media studies and creative writing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today, what once was escapism is how I craft wonderful words for my clients.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I make sure they are seen and heard and help them use their innate gifts to make their own mark in the world and CONNECT.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
”Turn pain into your superpower.”

I write poems using my natural curiosity and imagination. I can write you a poem for someone special simply by asking a few questions.
