Guess Who I Am - written by Raluca Asaftei, 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 "Guess who I am" and we created some texts. This is Raluca's text:

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
