My Inspiration

The summer breeze is in the air . I am in the front seat and my headphones are on . I am slowly drifting into my world which has the biggest mountains made of concern and big lakes filled with fear of rejection . They block my vision , keeping me from doing my best . But I can ’ t let them take over . I consider how I am now free of the last school year ’ s pressures and it ’ s finally summer break . Still , I ’ m afraid that I can ’ t prevent them from ruining me .
My mind jumps from one thought to another like a rollercoaster . I don ’ t know how to stop it . But when I finally see the sea which is shining like an armour made of silver because it ’ s my saviour . I take a deep , unsteady breath and set my thoughts free . I suddenly realize that my mind is wild as an animal because it has been trapped . It ’ s like these times when I am with nature , I eventually become whole with it like during an inevitable ending . Nature is releasing me into a clandestine world where the only thing that matters is life and peace . Nature is like a bridge connecting me to my true self and purpose purified from daily life ’ s nonsense . My thoughts come together like pieces when I feel that ray of sunshine and smell the invigorating , salty air which makes me feel at home . I ’ m always blessed with a new idea while I ’ m swimming in deep blue waters . When the waves crashing to the shore is the only sound you can hear and you start to take walks down the memory lane , create art with whatever is given to you in the first place . I hear a soft melody of life and feel like I am reborn with a will to live . My inspiration comes from nature .
