I was born in Edinburgh in 1948 and lived there until I was 24. My parents' rented " house" was a downstairs flat in a tenement which was built around 1690 and is now a Grade 2 listed building. When I lived there, it was a Grade 10 unlisted slum. My father was a grocer by trade and my mother cleaned richer people's houses for a living. They were loving and caring parents and I had a happy childhood. I married in 1968 and my wife, my son and myself moved to Huntingdon four years later, so I have spent two-thirds of my life in England. My second son was born in 1974. I qualified as an accountant in 1976 and spent over twenty years counting beans in various guises. In 1993, bored rigid by the work, I left the profession to set up a framing and picture gallery in a village near Huntingdon which I sold on as a going-concern ten years later, retiring in 2003. Since then I have been enjoying life, but doing very little that could be considered creative. When I turned 70 last year, for better or worse, I took to writing poetry.
I grew up in Cape town South Africa. I have faced many challenges from a very young age. Writing for me has become a means by which i express many of my personal challenges. i love meeting people from all walks of life becuase i feel that we all go through similar obstacles but we all have different ways of dealing with them.
Every once in a while you meet new people that comes into your life, and before you know it takes a place in your heart... And after a while they get comfortable being part of you, and thats when they start taking pieces of you... Firstly they take your way of thinking, then they take the little selfconfidance you had left making you feel unworthy of anyone's love. After that they will take more and more – they will take your smile and give you tears – crying yourself to sleep night after night, they'll take your hearts happy rhythm and make it feel weak, making your heart ache soo badly you feel asif you cant breath... They will take away your believe in magic and fairytales, they will make you think that true love is a lie. Not yet satisfied they would go after your faith in mankind, and they will crush it until there is just nothing left... Next is your dreams – they will take it and turn them into your deepest darkest fears. They will tear you up and rip you open so that you would better suit their needs... And then just when you think that they are finally done, they take little bits and pieces of your soul, until you stand alone and cold in the darkness wondering if you would ever be able to put yourself back together again... Because once again you were just not good enough...

I'm a single mom to a wonderful 12 year old girl, Taryn, whom I love with all my heart. She is kind, brave, thoughtful and sincere. I express my feelings through poems...kind of like venting.. A lot of my poems are about someone that was a big part of mu life who has past or about things in my life that bothered me...
My name is Kristina, I am on here to add things that I write when I'm happy, sad, mad, or just in a blah mood, I'm 23 years young... I have an amazing boyfriend named Jacob Downs, I'm from Dumont Iowa and just moved to Allison Iowa in Feb. I have been in prison, and I am trying to get my life back together and I tend to write when I'm feeling sad or scared that I am going to end up back in "lock down" I hope yall like what I write if not, give me a suggestion on what I could do differently.... Thank you!!
I love God with all my heart and wish to glorify him with my poetry. I've never tried writing before like this so i might not be any good, but i think the Lord will appreciate the gesture either way. He loves each one of you reading this, and so do I :) I love my family and friends, and my hobbies include listening to music and reading. Im a student in high school... And thats pretty much the summary of me!
