Blue - written by Maria Chirilă, clasa a X-a RE (Creative Writing Workshop)

Some tables in our school library. We meet and we write texts starting from an idea. It could be a word, an opening sentence, a picture, a sound. We write, fast or slow, and stop with the clock after 20 minutes, keeping pens on the page. At the end of the 20 minutes, the energy has shifted. The bad mood of the day is gone. The results are surprising. Anything can happen during the writing time. Healing, love, odd characters, strange names... writing is healing, for sure! We started from the words "Blue" and we created some texts. This is Maria's text:

BLUE - written by Maria Chirilă

Blue, the color of the sea

And the color of your face

When you are running out of air

Your lungs are turning blue

Like the sky and the sea

Blue, the ocean

The ocean you are sinking in

The ocean that is waiting to spit you out.

Black, oh wait!

It was blue, that blue...

Your eyes are blue

Your eyes were blue

But they are closed, and cold and

Maybe they are under the ground or

Maybe they are ashes

I don't know

I don't need to know

I do not want to know about YOU

My life is blue

I'm feeling blue

You have ruined me...

I have to let you go,

I have to let it be,

I have to say goodbye to you.

Goodbye, my love!

 Guess who I am - written by Maria Chirilă 

You think I' m a lovely person

But I am not!

You also think that I'm your way out of darkness 

But, I am not.

I am...

I am a free bird, 

I am a deep water,

I am a darkness forest.

Maybe I am your sunshine,

But I'm so dark inside.

I have a broken heart...

I have no more love inside.

I can't...

But you! You can complete me

Oh, but you have already destroyed me!

My heart! You have broken it!

And now, are you telling me about love?

You aren't!

You can't do this to me!

You are the greatest lier!

You have destroyed me!

I have loved you,

I AM A LOVELY PERSON

I am your way out

I am the darkest forest 

I am the deepest water

I am a free bird!

A free bird!

You are dead now,

You are the lamb now!

I AM THE WOLF!

Blue. - written by Raluca Asaftei

One would say is kindness

One would say is sadness

And I would say that blue is you

A memory long faded 

That awakes within me the treasure of living

Crystal tears are falling

And they all remind me of you

The generosity of the sea and the clearness of the sky 

Blue is you and you are blue

I would say I love you, or at least I did

But that time has gone

You are forever missing

And now all I feel is 

Blue.

Guess who I am - Reflections of oneself - written by Raluca Asaftei


I am a friend I'd say, at least sometimes

A friend to you and you only

I am anger and tranquillty 

I am wretched and hallow and complete and lively

I am unspoken words, unspoken thoughts

I am a fool, a star, a ray of moonlight

I am nearer to thee than thy would expect

Don't chase me away

Embrace me always

 Who I am? - written by Georgiana Lica

Maybe a girl who has many dreams 

Or a simple human in this world, bad world?

Hmm... I know better who I am

And the fact that I am different from the other people...

This makes me feel special, just the way I am.

Blue - written by Georgiana Lica


Blue.The colour that makes me feel like I fly among the clouds.

That makes me feel safe and gives me a positive energy and calmness.

My day becomes better and better when I see the blue sky, enjoying the beautiful birds.

And it takes you in another universe, with things that are waiting for the moment to be discovered.
