I like to think of myself as just another young lady hoping for the future. As a kid, I've always dreamed of becoming something huge and successful. At one point I wanted to become an Astronaut, then a Pediatrician, a movie director, a video game developer, etc... It wasn't until 5th grade that I would completely decide that I want to be famous for my art. I got picked up by CPS in 8th grade; December 17th, 2012. That day, I decided that I wanted to die... But I couldn't. I had my sister to look after. In 2013's summer, I would be placed in Vail to go to Cienega, make friends, and two months later, be forced out of Vail. Sometime in August, I was taken away from my sister and put with a new foster home. From that day and forward, I was also diagnosed with Chronic Depression and signs of suffering from Separation Anxiety. These conditions, when combined, which often happen, render in suicidal tendencies. I promised myself I would run away and hopefully get kidnapped and die on November 13th, 2013. But that same day, I would lay eyes on my biggest crush for the very first time. He had outgrown brown hair and was crying his eyes out. One thing lead to another, & on November 30th, 2013, he would stop in the middle of the hallway to kiss me. I finally found my reason to keep on living. My plans for the future are now completely different. My name is Liz. I am 16 years old. I want to become a designer in the artistic realm, become a published author, and spend most of my time at home to take care of a tiny version of myself and my fiance. There's not a special thing about me, but I can tell you exactly what does make me different: I believe in the power of love and what it can do for us. Some people claim to have seen Jesus. I claim to have seen true love.
KE setlogolo sa Lekaba ke motho wa Tlou!!!!!!!!I Will like to thank my grandparent Rosina and Solomon Lekaba who I love,respect and appreciate so much.They are my everything(ke a leboga).I am a young smart girl best known as a poet.Born in Sebokeng.I discovered my passion for performing at a young age.I was always intersted in poetry and I always took part in number of poetry events.I love poetry so much and I hope someday i'll be known as a poet around the world.So I am inviting all of you into my world of poetry...May GOD bless u all!!!
The world either goes too fast or too slow. Things are either too good to be true or too awful we want them to be nightmares. Sometimes words aren't enough to describe what we feel inside, but still we try, try to slow down the world fast forward it and we try to describe what we feel and who we are. And we try to make sense of things and find explanation for the things that are too good or too awful, so that hopefully we have peace at mind.
I'm a lonely girl who loves nature, magick, and the unseen. My mind latches on to the things between the lines, the things that you can't find the right words for. I try my best to write them down and find myself almost always disappointed with the results. But I'm still trying. I relate to music a lot and sometimes its an inspiration. I don't have too many friends but I'm most comfortable when alone. I feel things too much, too deeply and I find myself often sad about things I can't comprehend. After too many negative experiences, I decided to disentangle myself and become consumed by the roller coaster of a journey I call my life. -The simple things- My name is Lis I live in NYC I am 23 years old Speech Pathology major Favorite writers are: Anais Nin, Hemingway, Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath, J.K Rowling, Walt Whitman, JD Salinger, and many others.
My name is Afton Matthews, and I first realized I had a love of rhyme when I read some poems by Jack Pruletsky (sp?) After I read Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein, I knew that writing was something I wanted to do. I have been writing poems since I was in the first grade. I write about love sometimes, and tragedies, but my favorite poems are satirical. Some of them may be offensive, but I create what I create. I have been busy being a mother of three for quite some time now, and now that my kids are all in school and I have some time, I am going to start writing again.
Poetry somehow found its way into my life this past summer (2013), and since, I have been unable to stop. I have finally found my own personal form of self-expression, something I've been looking for my whole life. Other hobbies/interests: dance/choreography, film, running, theatre, tumblr, coffee, tea, clean eating, philosophy, art
Writing is an escape for me. I once buried this talent, but in recent years have discovered it again. I'm glad to have found a community of poets. Writing is so freeing, even when the words are a jumbled mess. I often pair a poem with a drawing to manifest the words. My motto is "Words can create pictures; pictures can create a loss of words." I want to inspire people. I want to make people think from a different perspective; make them uncomfortable. It's a tool i use, not only to express myself, but also to help others. That's the biggest joy writing has given me. Everyday I strive to get better, in writing and in life.
I am a girl from Kliptown ..I live in a shark with my single mom ..my surrounding inspires me to write ,ever since I was a kid my reality due to poverty and some experiences pushed me into writing poems ,my writing grew and grew until now ....am still writing about the reality,facts,honesty and factors that people are afraid to face.
I would not say I was a writer, but I like to write, always have but have never shared anything I've written. But I think my soul is a writer, I constantly hear everything in my life being narrated in such a way that I feel like my soul is writing my life out, or maybe reading what has already been written. Another part of my inner self is constantly coming up with parts of stories that haven't been written yet and waiting for me to come up with the rest of the story. And yet still more ideas for other characters or narrators never stop streaming in my head. I think I get in my own way from actually getting anything on paper, I tell myself I'll do it later, when I have enough time to get a lot of it done at once; if I don't have enough time to write the entire piece at once, I don't want to start, fearing I'd lose my train of thought, or maybe just scared of my own criticism; that and maybe the procrastinator in me is bigger than the writer in me. So if there is more submitted to this site than just this profile, maybe the writer in me is taking over! UPDATE: And now after I've put something up, I realize I am no writer at all. Maybe a generic something with an elementary vocabulary of words. No depth or thought in these whatsoever, if I could figure out how to make them not public I would. I apologize for wasting your time if you were looking for poetry.
Hi A little abou me; I'm a mom a friend and a lover a respectful woman. I believe in keeping it real.Be real to yourself so you can be real with others. If you think I'm perfect your wrong: there is no such thing as a perfect person: I was born to live to learn and learn to live. Anything else you want to know about just ask:)
