Amber Pacific - "Poetically Pathetic"

I have realised that I struggle to write anything poetic. By that, I mean that when I am trying to write something poetic about a person or situation, I find that I can only write exactly what I'm feeling. Especially when I am really passionate or excited about something. Or if I'm sad about something.

I tried writing something for my uncle who died fairly recently. But then it began to include my grandma, and pretty much everyone else in my life who had died. And it's just so bland and simple. I hate it's simplicity, but for the life of me, I can't find a way to dramatise or embellish it - I can't make it as beautiful as it should be.
