Poetry is all about exploring big concepts and complex feelings in a way that is succinct and hits home in the right way. A way that can be useful to do this is a stream of consciousness of what you need to say. For example, when I am first writing a poem, I have an idea of the central theme or emotion, but I'm not sure how to frame it.

I am still finding my feet. I finished my English literature degree at 9pm on a Tuesday evening. I handed in my last piece of work. It all ends very quickly; three years of work and — with just a single tap — you click the submission button.

There are so many things that I would like to do, that I would like to achieve, that I'm interested in. This automatically means that I end up doing a lot without acknowledging the fact that I am potentially doing too much at once — and that leads to an endless cycle of burnout.

Writing also allows for a level playing field, because disability is not the defining factor of anything within writing.
