1 Creation From Me
“The Ache of the Muted Soul” - A poem
Once upon a time, I wrote,
A happy kid with paper and pen,
But something changed and so I stopped,
In thirty years, I’d write again.
For all those years, I lost more than writing,
I lost myself and I lost my worth,
Decades spent racing around,
Trying to find what was mine since birth.
It was hard being a creative,
Trapped in the shell of a businessman,
My soul ached as muted souls do,
But the universe had a bigger plan.
Turns out thirty years wasn’t wasted,
It was fuel to ignite the rhyme.
Turns out there were no mistakes at all,
Market research takes some time.
And if I can do it, so can you,
Go with the flow and stop the fight.
Never die with your music inside,
Because a writer has to write.
A painter must paint, a singer must sing,
A dancer must flutter their feet.
For when your soul is calling — and you answer,
Nothing ever tasted so sweet.
So go claim what’s yours, it’s been long enough,
And it will be oh so worth the wait.
Because we are human, and we are creators,
And creators must create.
1 Quote From Another
Spanish painter, sculptor, and one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso, says this about our innate creativity:
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”

1 Question For Your Soul
What hidden, repressed, or even forgotten creative joy can I tap into in my life... right now?
If this resonated, pass it along to someone who might need it today. Let’s grow this circle!
Until next time, freethinkers…stay present, be pleasant, and have an amazing day!
