The Poetry of Life

By Sophia Quzi

“Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful
that which is distorted”
- Percy Bysshe Shelly




From very young age I had a habit of day dreaming. All conflicts seemed to disappear as I sat silently and gazed into the boundless skyline. I instantly connected to the empty space. For years, I have served as a useful source to those seeking inspiration, help, or advice. I finally decided to own that role and be intentional about it. I started writing about my passions, my thoughts, and curious wanderings about our life and society. I always noticed that for me and many others, when life got awesome, our daily discipline was often the first thing to slide. You know the drill, you’ve been showing up, doing the work and things are starting to feel great! Meanwhile, life gets hectic, and because you’re already feeling amazing from all the great work you’ve been doing, your daily routine is often the first to go. I replayed this scenario in my life time and time again until one day I finally decided that I didn’t want to have to start over again. My life changed completely when I committed to a non-negotiable daily discipline of writing inspiring poetry and articles that helped me as well as hundreds of people in dealing with their own emotions. My poems are not based on just poems, they are based on my life experiences and realisations using simple words and clarity. A true reflection of life that is thoroughly lived. That’s why I titled it.. Poetry Of Life.
