Power


          
               There is something special in everybody. We all find out what our special talent is eventually. Whether it's being good at hocky, playing an instrument or styling hair. My point is that it doesn't matter if you're not good at one thing, you are good at something else. That something else is your special talent. Some people are still unaware of what they are good at. As for me, i discovered my special talent growing up. I always enjoyed drawing as a child. It was fun and kept me entertained. However, i was always judged on my drawings. People would always say "Oh Jamie I don't even know why you bother. You stink at drawing!" That didn't bother me though, because my goal was to rise above my haters and become a better artist, so i did and that is how i discovered this power i possessed.

               A time where i felt I lost power was when i went through a lazy day. There are some days where my mood contradicts my creative abilities. It will over power them by making me feel lazy, and lay on my couch to watch Netflix. I have no control over this.

               What i do to help strengthen this power is by practice drawing moe characters. One day i'll draw The PowerPuff Girls, next day will be Quinn from the MTV cartoon "Daria". I just try to explore diffrent characters to create, see who i can draw, and see what needs work. I have a hard time drawing Shaggy from "Scooby Doo". In conclusion, Everybody pposses some sort of special talent that gives them power. They just need to mess around, and find it. Mines drawing, what's yours?

                                When I was a Limitless Child

     When I was a limitless child I would constantly play,
I would love to play outside and inside there were so many ideas
that would flow through my head that I had many options to choose
       "What should I play today", I would ask myself, 
I had so many dollys, stuffed animals, board games and videogames
       So hard to choose from when my options are limitless,
                I would love to play on my own, 
that way I had the power to say what comes next & how this works,
My mind was limitless to so many thoughts racing though my brain,
         My childish self could'nt hold any of it back,
      My mind was more open than the door on my front steps,
                As for my toy chest in my room,
         It didn't matter if it were my bedtime either
I had my whole colony of toys to sleep by my side into the night,
                   We were always playing,
          It didn't matter if I were asleep or awake,
               I would still constantly play.

  1. Great poem!

    I like your take on this assignment. Your poem is excellent, and I like how you're using space to break it up.

    Your journal post is good, too, but your second paragraph needs to be longer. Try to write more, so that each paragraph is about the same length. What else impedes your ability to be creative? Think of things like: time, other projects, mindsets, etc.
