Ima small town girl with big city love had my pen at hand since age 14 starting writing to understand the mind of justine at times weak so i get my ink to speak other times full of thought but id rather hide than seek. So heres a little poetry from me. by me, for you to read a little of what Justinesees.
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.
I love writing poetry and I want to share it with the world. I've been told I'm a good poet and was hoping I could get some feedback to help me become a better poet. I'm 15 and will be 16 in May. Writing poems is one of the best ways to express your feelings and that's why I do it.
Growing up in a single parent home produces a lot of emotions . with mine , a lot of them stay bottled up , so they come out in my writing . i'm a social person when i want to be . i've lost a lot of "friends" in life so that has contributed to the pain and emptiness also expressed in my writing . i'm my own person , and i express that in any way i can . Poetry happens to be one of those ways :)
Simply put, I'm a hopeless romantic who likes to write, take photos, meet people, and go on adventures. I want to see the world and show everyone how it looks through my eyes. Not because they should care or because I'm some sort of celebrity, but I feel I can truly make a difference, whether it be big, small, or somewhere in between.
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 have a very long and complex life story with many tales of woe and many more of laughter. I cannot dwell on the bad any longer as I may not have a lot of time to remember the fun bits and enjoy some extra ones!! :) I have been ill since the age of 3, or so I believe. To be honest it hasn't really hindered me.....I think being aware of your mortality generally means you stay awake all night while you are supposed to be learnin somethin. Bacround, meanin and application of Engineering...................... Sleep all day and hate the world. I would love to have a teenage child and very subtly creep different routines into the day to force interaction. My father committed suicide when I was 12 years old and left a huge emotional void in my life. I spent many years trying to fill that void with sex drugs and good ol rock and roll! It was a BLAST!! and I loved every second of it, good and bad! hooooorah!! But time rolls on, and I really should start thinking about settling down I have been with my partner, Richard for close to 9 years and I love him with every fibre of my being. But being together is hard, we have had some very difficult times. It is difficult to plan and create a life when your natural instinct is to pull away and hide to protect yourself from the pain of loss. I have never hidden myself from Rick, but jointly we hide ourselves from the world. There are elements of myself and some creative outlets that I cannot share with Rick initially because i just plain ol can't explain them! But I am pretty sure when I show him this site, and he looks up my page, reads my poems he will only feel closer to me, as nobody on this planet could understand the depth of my words but him. Travelling allows you to see a side of life you would not have been aware of had you not encountered it. I have lived in 9 countries in 7 years and visited more. I have partied with royalty and shared secrets with shaques. One very simple encounter 2 years ago opened a different path in my mind and allowed me a lot more peace than i ever thought i would be able to achieve. Anyone is capable of anything x
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!
I came to this website because I miss when I was able to show my poetry everyday. I've had writers block for almost three years now and this is me branching out trying to find my voice again. The only thing I love more than sharing my poetry is reading others, and I can't wait to read everyone's words and see how I connect with your words as well as my own.
Hello, welcome to my page, my name is Neka Jeffries, I am fifteen years old. Here you will find poems about real life events that have happened in my life.

I also write about uplifting things to. Thank you for visiting my page. My Facebook is Neka Jeffries. and I do have an email ([email protected]).
Hi! My name is Judith Rodriguez and I have always wanted to put my poems out in the world but i never did because i am not good in writing. Until, an author who showed up in my school said, "Never think you can't because you can and if you fall get up again and try all over again." She changed my life and I will never forget that. :)
