I'm a 20-year-old independent, and outspoken individual. I don't write to impress anybody, I've found that writing is a healthy way for me to cope with my depression and other emotions, whether they're nostalgic, happy, or an ambivalent mixture of the two. I'm in the process of trying to find myself. I'm from Massachusetts, the state with the most successful sports teams (in my opinion at least), aggressive drivers, "wicked" rude people, bipolar weather, and awesome clam chowder. Oh yeah, - it's also the world headquarters of mispronouncing the letter "R". :) One of my greatest influences in life has been Hayley Williams, the front woman of the band Paramore. Growing up as a teen, I felt completely alone. Her music helped me find a much stronger part of myself that I wouldn't have realized existed otherwise. It's an amazing feeling when you discover music that you can relate to some of the most heartfelt moments of your life, and other components of it that make you who you are. I'm an animal, piercing, tattoo, and book lover, and also a huge motorcycle enthusiast. - Would love to own one sometime in the near future! If you'd like to talk to me more, feel free to email me anytime at the email I have provided! <3 Diana D.
I have been writing for as long as I can remember, although a good portion of my poetry has...disappeared...over the years. But I have managed to hold on to most of it, and although sometimes I want to burn some old love poems that no longer mean that much to me, my mom always told me to hold on to them anyway, so I held on to all of it. I have written on all types of subjects, though, life, love, friendship, nature, etc.... Now, goodness knows my poetry is not the best in the world, but as I have often been encouraged to share, I finally gave in, and will try to share some of what I consider to be my better works. Ty for reading.
Writing for quite some time. I do not have any favorite poets, however The Divine Comedy and The Odyssey are favorite works. I mostly do free form. If its not free form it is a syllable based poem, or anything else. I will change the world with my words. The pen is mightier than the sword.
My name is Megan. I'm 19. I write poems when I can. I'm not a professional but I think poetry is an amazing way to express yourself. My style is quite dark and 'gothic', purely because I have struggled with mental health for five years, and instead of harming myself I write all the hurt I feel on paper. It doesn't work all the time but I guess every time it does makes it all worthwhile. I swear I'm not all doom and gloom!, I love music and animals and reading and art, & I work as a volunteer at my local foodbank. Yeah, guess I have a boring life, but if you'd like to know more gimme a message. Thanks, fellow poets
Hello my name is Rosalind and I first started writing poetry in April of 2011. I am a born again Christian and have a wonderful relationship with father God I would have never imagined for one second that God had given me a gift for writing poems. It is a great opportunity to be sharing the word of god with you, I have been praying that the lord would provide funds for my poetry to be published. I first grew up with a mother had mental health problems and wasn't able to give me the love required to grow and develop into a stable young adult. My mum came from an very abusive background and most of her life she would show a pattern of inconsistency and this affected me badly most of my childhood days were very lonely and i had no friends and was bullied for most of my childhood days as a result my school work suffered and i was at the bottom class at school. When I was sixteen I became unwell and had a nervous breakdown I was in hospital for months and event I made a recovery some of my poetry speaks about these terrible moments in my life I went on to marry an abusive man and had 5 children by him and later had another broken relationship, evidently met a wonderful loving christian man we have been together for six years and just got married on the 16th Dec we happy together God can take the weak and to wonderful things i carried a lot of shame for most of my life. I found it difficult to make eye to eye contact because of it, but now God has taken my shame and brokenness and turned it round I do believe if I hadn't suffered all this pain both as a child and adult I would have definitely not been writing poetry today I do hope that my poems will change lives and turn them around. I have 4 sons and 3 daughters and 3 grandchildren and one on the way. I live in Scotland in the UK I am 55 nearly 56 I am so thrilled to be doing this work for the lord it is a pleasure.
I was born in El Salvador and raised there till my 6th birthday, the rest until now I've lived in Maryland. I'am the second oldest, the middle child you could even say. I'am a poet from not what I can rhyme but from what i can say to mean what I feel. I've been writing since I could grasp a pen and bail a mark out my spirit. I love the beauty of words and expression, I am the ruby of flies; the source of words that carry an audience. I love poetry its the only drug worth rolling in paper, and the only taste i find it unwinding to saver. This is my biography poetry its self.
Original since 1991. Scorpio. Oldest of 6. Best friends with my single mom. Georgia peach at heart, physically in the Windy City. Forever blessed. Karma is real. Pink is my favorite. Severe sweet tooth especially for cheesecake. Always in thought. Believer of if you're a bird I'm a bird. Obviously hopeless romantic. Reading and writing are my therapy. The beach makes me whole. Just riding the waves till I get there.

Born in a little town in Texas. Going to be seventeen this upcoming April. Along with poetry, I enjoy reading, playing soccer, and running. I'd like to say I'm healthy and happy. I'm really looking forward to sharing my work, I appreciate constructive criticism. I hope you enjoy these poems as much as I do.
Hello, Everyone & Welcome To My Page. I Just Wanted To Tell You A Little Bit About My Writing. When I Write, I Don't Follow The Well-known Poetry Rules. I Just Write. I Don't Use Big Words In Them Either. To Me, That Makes It More Complicated For The Reader. Especially If My Poem Is Relating To Teenage Issues. They'll Probably Get Lost Along The Way, & Zone Out. Also, Most Of My Writing Is Created Through Emotion. I'm A Very Sensitive Person, So I Write Things Out Instead Of Complaining To Everyone. This Way Is MUCH Easier For Me. I Have Over 400 Poems. I Was Hoping I Could Meet People Who Share The Same Interests & Ideas With Me. My Goal Is To Change The World Through Poetry, & , After All ; I've Got To Start Somewhere.

I've been told that I'm a book of contradictions. I'll start with the basic stuff: I'm 23 years old. I have 3 siblings: one sister and two brothers. I was born in Savannah, GA and raised in the state of GA. After graduating from Gilmer High School, I went through a period of emotional tragedy that led me to the cross of Jesus Christ. At this point in my life, I realized that all of my sins had caused Him to pay the price that I should have paid. Upon this realization, I fell to my knees and repented with all of my heart (the best way I knew how to, anyways). When this occurred, Jesus set me free. He set me free from my sin, from my negativity, from my selfishness, from myself. He gave me love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness and temperance by His Spirit, the Comforter of God's children. He wrote my name in heaven, and He gave me His Word to guide me until the day I get there. Praise be to God for this wonderful gift! So, as you may have guessed, I am completely dedicated to the cause of Christ. Nobody, nothing will detour me from serving my God. Although I may stumble and fail time and time again, I keep getting back up and pushing onward for Jesus. In the end, He is the only One that matters, anyways; everything else in life is ultimately meaningless without God! They say that I have a very eccentric personality; I would concur. I have my "extremes", I suppose. I can be very hyper and energetic with my friends (to the point to where I annoy them), and I can also be very quiet and to myself. It just depends on what mood I am in, really. Overall, I'm an introverted extrovert. Although I enjoy conversing with people, I prefer to stay within myself and to think about the deep things of life. And by deep things, I don't mean just academic stuff; rather, I mean the things that really matter. The things that we will carry with us into eternity. The things that God cares about are the things that we should care about, for God is good, and His Word is good, too. Whatever His Scriptures state is true; that is what we should cling to, for His truth is the ultimate source of truth that we have. Without it, we are ultimately doomed to wander in the darkness of this world. It is a light to the lost sinner and a source of comfort to the redeemed. Praise God for it! I think very abstractly.... that's just one of my personality quirks. I think in angles that most people don't think in. I am also a people watcher; I enjoy sitting back and observing people in the midst of conversation. I'm always wondering what's going through someone's head and why they are thinking that way. I guess I'm just one of those kind of thinkers. My hobbies are simple. I enjoy reading the classics (To Kill a Mockingbird, A Pilgrim's Progress, etc.). I enjoy thinking about stuff. My most joyous past time, however, relates to music. I have a jukebox for a brain, so I always think in terms of numbers and music (math and music go hand in hand for some reason. I enjoy both!). I have been playing guitar for over eight years, and I continue to do so with the utmost joy! I write my own music and apply it to God's Kingdom. Everything you see on here will reflect the goodness of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May it honor and glorify Him!
As a beginner I simply wish to share my experiences in life that have made me who I am; A strong individual, who possesses the ability to accept the worst of losses such as the trust of close friends, a sister's, a mother's, and a lover's. I write to forget, or perhaps, to live in the past where my heart seems to dwell.
