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 only written poems for a little over two years. I met a wonderful man, who's love inspired me. I am sure I do not follow the poetry rules, however I get so much enjoying, writing down the words in my head. All of my poems have true meaning and relate to current events in my life. Feel free to Critique my writings, as I am still learning!
I'm been writing poetry as long as I can remember. Growing up I faced several traumas which affected my health and made me very ill. Poetry has always been my escape, something I do when I feel I need to express my feelings and I am only able to make sense of them when pen meets paper. Originally I only ever wrote poems for myself, almost like a private diary. However after one of my teachers came across my poem book I received enormous amounts of praise for my work and how she felt she really connected with one of my pieces as it was something close to her heart. This made me consider being more open with my poetry and a friend of mine recommended I start showing them to the public which is my reason for joining Poeticous. My poems aren't fantastic but they mean very much to me and I hope you will be able to connect with them. Always great full of feedback- I'd love to here from you! -Hannah
