With growth comes change

With growth comes change

When I were younger
I looked for poetry within me.
Now, I try looking around
to find wider view.

When I began writing
I lived in a closed off muddle.
Now, I try to be clear and open
to let poetry flow through.

Back then,
I fed on fear and confusion.
Now, I try to be up and light and write
from a brighter point of view.

My name is Martyna Sarnowska. I was born in 1985 in Gdynia, Poland. For six years I studied History of Art and Arts in Education in France, England and USA. However, only during the last year of university I realized my deep passion for literature, poetry and writing. At the age of twenty five, I got to understand that reading and writing are for me the closest and dearest forms of art and expression. Since that moment my daily life has been occupied with books, poetry and writing – poems, essays, journals… Recently, I have begun running a book club which enables me to discuss literature with others. Now, in a natural way came the time for this blog – space, where I can share my writing and my thoughts on literature; where I can open up to the world.
