When I Think: About Creating

When I think about creating,
I think about making;
Making from nothing.
I think about changing;
Changing into something.
When I think about creating,
I think about the changes
That comes from creating.
I think about what I bring into existence
Through changes.
When I think about creating,
I think about changing.
I think about the changes.

When I think about creating,
I think about compromises and sacrifices.
I think about the breaths
between creating and destroying.
I think about the space
between the pen and the page.
When I think about creating,
I think about the compromises I make,
the sacrifices I take;
to create
within and beyond me.
When I think about creating,
I think about breathing
between the spaces.

When I think about creating,
I think about moulding
worlds from words.
I think about the words
that make this world worth it.
I think the words that make me worthy.
I think about coming into my own;
becoming my own.
When I think about creating,
I think about the world without,
and whatever world that is;
I would not want to be within.
When I think about creating,
I think about the power;
the power gained; the power lost;
The power that is.
