My name is Rashawn or Raee. I'm 20 and I'm schizophrenic. I have depression and social anxiety. I have no friends. I stick to myself. Very honest and nice. I'm the best person ever if you stay on my good side. I'm not a mean person. People think because I'm schizophrenic that I'm a bad person. That's not true. I have a voice and I feel like it should be heard. Some of you might not agree with my poems but I highly recommend that you read my poem and understand it before you judge. Ive been writing for about three years now. It is my passion. Thanks.
Writing has always been a big part of my life. Since I was a child it was so easy for me to write anything. Poetry has always been my passion . I pick up a pen and notebook and will challenge anyone I know to ask me to write something for them. A letter, a story, a hiku, an article. The pen and my thoughts become alive instantly. It has always been my first line of communication. Words are so easy to write and not as easy to say outloud. I can be abstract and remove myself from my element into a world of creativity. I compare it to composing music, painting a beautiful portrait, or sky diving. It can come smoothly, it can be beautiful, and it can be bold and exciting. If I could make a living writing, I most certainly would. What a wonderful release and when the words come to the thoughts I have, they come quickly and vividly. Almost as if it's a flash. I always carry a notebook and pen or use my phone to memo words or thoughts throughout my day. Some of my thoughts are so brilliant and clever, others are dark and mysterious, many are filled with sadness and lonliness. This is part of who I am and the feeling and emotions I have. I am my own muse.

It's been tough.... I found out my way of venting was through writing at 11 years old. I've always been the outcast, black sheep.. Never fit it but I've always made it work. I'm the strongest person I know. I take after my mother... Writing is my passion, despite all the hard times and all I ever gave up on, writing and my 35 journal is all I've carried. I love it and I will never give up on it. All I ever written is the silence of my soul.

I am 17 years old, and I have gone through many things that a 17 year old shouldn't go through. I lost my sister when I was 11 years old, and I lost my uncle when I was 15, and I lost my aunt when I was 15 years old too. My Aunt went through depression and ended up killing herself, and my Uncle was a firefighter and was going on a call and his firetruck flipped over and he died. My other Aunt died of Cancer and so did my Grandpa (who was fighting for 4 long years), and my Cousin had a heart attack. As of right now my Great Aunt has cancer in her ovaries, and my Grandma has breast cancer. I have a big chance on getting cancer too, when I'm older. I found out when I was 14 years old that my whole life was a lie. My moms boyfriend at this time ended up being my biological father and my dad, mom, or my real dad never told me about it. My real father told me out of anger that I was really his child. It took me 3 years to deal with this fact, because of this I have 3 men in my life. I have my daddy (who is the man who raised me and is my best friend), I have my mom (the women who tried her best for me and my many siblings), and I have my biological father (who is now trying and is there for me). I also have 6 brothers and sisters who are there for me when I need them. I went through a lot of depression when I was 10 years old to 15 years old. I use to cut a lot and I haven't in almost 3 years.Everyone says God works in many of different ways and loosing all the people I have makes me wonder about God. But I do go to Church and Youth group and I do know that there's a God, A Heaven, and that Angels are real. My poetry helps me get through all the things that I've gone through. I am a survivor, I have had many terrible things happen in my life, and all the things I just shared with you isn't all of them. I am strong, and I know I can go through any situation no matter how big or small.
I'm a 50 year old mother of five and grandmother of seven. I am wonderfully and completely in love and have been for over ten years. I KNOW THAT I AM TRULY BLESSED. I used to write poetry every single day and back then I had plenty of dark lost painful places to write from. When life started getting better I somehow convinced myself that without misery I had nothing to write from so I gave it up for about 12 years only the coaxing of my lover and best friend caused me to pick up paper and pencil ( yes that's right I prefer to write old school) only after I perfect it on paper do I enter it online. I plan on trying to write for at least ten minutes a day and I hope I still at least have a little creativity and that I will get better with practice. i find it intriguing when looking for inspiration to finally be able to feel the words coming from a happy place.
I'm a South African girl who loves music, poetry & singing. Art is a way of expressing myself in a way that simple words can not describe. Music & Singing has always been my life since it is my get away when I'm not feeling like myself. Music to me is my inspiration and it is what drives me to do what I love to do the most. I'm just a normal girl, living in a complicated world. Behind my smiles, there is something deeper than what you see.. There is something deeper than this façade.
