Start Creating

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

[Verse 1]

The headlines scream, the sirens wail

The algorithms spin their tale

My heart’s a drum, my mind’s a gale

I need a truth that’s not for sale

[Pre-Chorus]

So I turn off the noise, let the silence speak

Let my hands remember what my soul seeks

[Chorus]

When the world is too scary, too loud, too much

Stop consuming—start creating, feel the hush

Paint your pain, sing your rage, write your love

Build a bridge from the ashes, rise above

You’re not here to scroll through someone else’s dream

You’re the spark, the voice, the unseen beam

[Verse 2]

They sell me fear in pixel streams

But I’ve got clay and thread and dreams

I stitch my hope in crooked seams

I plant my truth in quiet themes

[Pre-Chorus]

Let the chaos pass like a stormy tide

I’ll make a song where my soul can hide

[Chorus]

When the world is too scary, too loud, too much

Stop consuming—start creating, feel the hush

Paint your pain, sing your rage, write your love

Build a bridge from the ashes, rise above

You’re not here to scroll through someone else’s dream

You’re the spark, the voice, the unseen beam

[Bridge]

Make a mess, make it raw, make it real

Let your hands be the prayer, let your art be the heal

Don’t wait for permission, don’t wait for the light

You are the candle burning through the night

[Final Chorus]

When the world is too scary, too loud, too much

Stop consuming—start creating, feel the hush

Paint your pain, sing your rage, write your love

Build a bridge from the ashes, rise above

You’re not here to scroll through someone else’s dream

You’re the spark, the voice, the unseen beam

[Outro]

So hush the feed, and feed the flame

Create the world that knows your name
