Cody Simpson inspired Chase Stokes to write poetry
During quarantine, Stokes is keeping himself busy by writing poetry and sharing it with his fans. “I’ll try my best to post some more,” he captioned one poem, adding: “Still in the process of writing some more. Here’s one that is incredibly personal probably to all of us dealing with some form of mental health. We aren’t fine, and it’s okay to feel whatever we are feeling. Don’t feel the need to hide your emotions. Let’s keep being present with each other. It’s okay to not be fine.”
In an interview with New York Magazine, Stokes explained where his fondness for poetry came from. “[Cody Simpson] reached out and was like, ‘Hey man, I’m a big fan of [Outer Banks],'” Stokes explained. He befriended Simpson after taking his sister to a Justin Bieber concert when he was living in Orlando.
“I went through a breakup a little bit before quarantine, and it was with somebody I’d been with for almost 10 years,” Stokes continued. “I’ve been writing about it, drawing inspiration from the isolation of quarantine — there’s a similar kind of heartbreak involved. So for me as a young poet who’s finding my footing, Cody’s an inspiration.”
According to Instagram, Stokes is passionate about his poetry and working on a book. Fans are excited to get their hands on a copy of Stokes’ poems, whenever that may be.
