My next poem

So in my school I am involved in a group called "New Literati" every month we are required to submit poems/short stories/essay/visual art. I already submitted one poem which I am quite proud of. Now we have another submission date coming up and I think my next poem will be about letting go. My last poem was about loss and now I want to write about the next phase. (The loss poem wasn't about geek dude btw, I felt if I wrote about him it would have been a hate poem, I would have had a bunch of self pity and I didn't want that lmao). Maybe i'll tie this poem to my retreat experience. The activity we did to write down our fears and throw them into a pit of fire. Maybe I'll include the hike, where we all started screaming for no good reason in the middle of the forest.  I used to think these activities were bs because I've done them before and I did nothing to change myself. Yes at the moment I always said "Now it's time for change" but two days after the retreat I went back to the old bad habits. This Freshman Retreat changed all of this. I felt and overwhelming wave of joy, and I kept it throughout these few months and it gave me the strength to cut out people from my life. it's the first time I've actually kept my word. So yeah maybe I'll write a poem about that.
