I was born in Alabama. Lived the first 9 years of my life in Florida, but then moved back to Alabama after my grandmother passed away to live in her house. I've been here ever since and I absolutely love it. I am married to a wonderful man who is my best friend. I'm surrounded by my family and friends and beautiful nature. I am a follower of Christ. I've always loved to write. When I was little, I would write my parents little notes and slide them underneath the door of whatever room they were in. I just loved to touch people through my words. Verbally and on paper. When I became a teenager, I started to write random poetry for fun, but also for school. I realized that it wasn't homework for me to write, it was a joy. My poetry streak really took off at the age of 15. Now, having recently turned 30, I have been through a lot in the past decade and have not written as much as i used to. Ups and downs, highs and lows, defeats and victories...you name it. I've felt a lot of different emotions and thought many thoughts. And I've composed quite a few poems and written many songs through it all. So, this is my place to share them with the world, to touch others through my words. I hope they mean something to you. Thank you.
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.
Hi, I'm Jaylon Pahsetopah, I'm 14 years old. Poetry has impacted my life everysince I started writing. I write to prove that you can do anythings in life. And it's my talent! It's what I was born to do! I was bullied and pushed around as a kid and barely had any friends, so I started writing poetry to make myself feel better. And I love all of you guy's poems. You are all so talented! I truly hope I can meet new friends and maybe some of us can write together. So, enjoy my poems :)
