Free your writing and the rest will follow

A free write inspired by @Nelly Bryce’s Poetry Pals recent prompt about alternative resolutions.. I start silly and meander to some lines I enjoyed spilling out.

In 2025

I will thrive, survive, see oasis live

I will sing as a drive at the top of my lungs 

Love will lift me up where I belong 

Where ever I leave my hat will be my home

I will moan

I just will , it's too late to pretend I won't

I will be flawed 

I will not be fixed

But I will not run towards conflicts 

Or restrict my point of view  

I will read and listen 

I will take joy in the moments this world glistens

Even as it burns

Returning neglect with natural consequences 

I will free write until it sense is made

Then I'll share it without my defences up

Filling my cup with connections it makes

Both on and off the page 

I'll exchange engagement with fulfilment 

Building a world I'm happy to live in 

Starting small, becoming resilient 

Through curiosity find brilliance

Turning the brightness up on darker days

Ways will be found 

If I learn to surround myself in comfort 

My troubles will soon be outnumbered 

And I'll recover from those inevitable stumbles 

In record time

I'll be fine with whatever you throw at me 2025

I'll be fine 

I may polish some of these phrases and ideas in a different poem on a different day. But I hope you enjoy the messiness of seeing the free write.

Until next time.
