Why I Create: The Art & Soul Behind My Work”
Introduction
Hello Steemit community!
I’m excited to begin my journey here and connect with fellow creators, thinkers, and dreamers. This is my very first post, and I want to share a little about why I create — through words, through art, through moments of silence that only poetry can fill.
The Artist Within
For me, creativity isn’t just a hobby — it’s survival. It’s how I make sense of the world, express emotions I can’t say aloud, and connect with people without even knowing their names. Whether it's sketching a raw feeling onto a page or shaping thoughts into poems, I create to stay human.
I don’t always know where my ideas come from. Sometimes, it’s a quiet walk. Sometimes, it’s heartbreak. Other times, it’s a strange dream I can’t forget. But no matter the source, I always end up back at the page.
Poetry: The Language of My Emotions
Poetry has been my shelter. Short, sharp verses. Soft, slow rhymes. Here’s a small piece I wrote recently — maybe it says more than this entire post:
“Stillness”
In silence, I find the brushstroke,
in sorrow, I find the rhyme.
My canvas is a whisper,
that only I hear in time.
I hope to share more pieces like this, and I’d love to read yours too.
Why Steemit?
I chose Steemit because I believe in the power of decentralized platforms — where creativity is rewarded, and community is built not by algorithms but by people.
If you're here reading this, thank you. I’m here to learn, to share, and to grow.
