My new poetry video is for my poem called "The Choice." It was first written when I was in grade 12 about how I felt picking my programs in university, and essentially choosing my career path. It wasn't easy, but I ended up making the right choice (Alhamdulilah) after my first year of university when I switched my program from studying Biology and English to studying Dear Journalism, English, and Creative Writing. After I made that choice and realized it was the right one, I went back and edited this poem to reflect a bit of my decision-making experience during those 2 years. I hope many people facing a life-impacting choice can relate to the feelings described in this poem. Fun Fact: It was SO cold while filming this that a few of my fingers were still numb for 2 days afterward. And I was wearing leather gloves! Thank you so much Nuha Elalem, for editing and filming this video in the freezing cold with me! Don't forget to subscribe to my channel! :)
So this poem, called "Masterpiece," is the part 2 of my two part series of poems about writing. "Masterpiece" is about how I feel when I get an idea and write an entire story all at once. Many people can relate to this: maybe you've finished an entire assignment or difficult job in one night. That's what this poem is about.
Fun fact: All the pages used in this video are actually part of a story I wrote six years ago. Thank you so much, Nuha, for filming and editing this video and letting me use your room for the setting. Again. :)
