Challenge: Write a poem
Not many people know this about me, but I write poetry. When I was in high school and college, I had some of my poetry published in school, local, and even national publications. I've won awards for my poetry, and had my poetry used as an examples in writing classes. I'm mostly proud of what I've written, but I'm also terrified that someone will find out about this hobby of mine and rip it apart. They won't like my poetry and, by extension, that means they won't like me.
So, for this challenge, I not only had to create a new original poem, but post it where others would know that it was my creation. I sat down, and just wrote what came to my mind. Then I posted it before I could chicken out and change my mind. I can't really explain how, but it was kind of freeing to see my poem on social media. I was proud of it, and I learned that it didn't matter what anyone else thought of it, it was mine, and it was me.
