Write a poem (or letter) about a turning point in your life 8 months ago The Rise and Fall
Kristin SchaafShe rises, she falls
She tries to find her way
Hearing the quiet call
She doesn’t want to stay
In this back and forth
Ping pong balls in her mind
The game is a battle
Against what she knows inside
The truth is buried
Deep inside her heart
She’s ignored that voice
And doesn’t know how to start
To trust in who she is
And what she really knows
Who she is made to be
She longs to truly grow
She sheds the thick skin
One layer at a time
She whispers to herself
I believe, I can try
To know she can go
Where she’s made to be
Just trust in the voice
And then she’ll truly see
The beauty that she’s made for
The rising of the sun
She’s blossomed and she knows
Her life has just begun.Voting is closed

Kristin, you are so right that our lives rise and fall with our experiences. Sometimes, we are at our lowest and have to use every ounce of energy to pull ourselves back up. Life can be so difficult and seem hopeless or uncertain, but if we put our minds to it and let ourselves, we can reach those peaks too. Thank you for sharing your beautiful poem!
