A Journal is a Mirror

A poem about my love for writing

By K LPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Journals become the color you are

The paper pages of the past line the atmosphere's stars

They are portals to another dimension

You can see what has gone and write hopes for your future

Today I was the color fuschia

My feelings were purplish red petals, but my pen was a stem

If I let the colors drain from my sleeve, I can make the best of them

---------

The journal is a mirror, and I can see all my lines

Even if I am gloomy, the blue ink knows where to dry

If I touch my finger to the page, it morphes and electrifies

When I step inside the journal, my nose becomes immersed

I see the curves and jagged edges of my emotion

This journal holds the most important shades of devotion

----------

Writers to me, are soft and full of pinks

They paint the stories and concepts no one thinks

When I create, I am the color of salmon

My words are becoming fish, swimming below a canyon

Without my stories, the world would grow cold

If any writer stopped, imagination would begin to mold

-------

I embrace the tinted writer's glow

If I keep going in this hobby, I will continue to grow

There is nothing like having a journal as a best friend

When I let my brain seep onto the pages, it is blissful

I don't have to pretend
