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!
