Biography
I am an aspiring published poet and have been working on writing a collection of poems for about a year and a half. I started writing as an outlet for the things I was dealing with in life until I realized that I could turn my experiences into something more. More about me is that I'm a recent college grad and have a degree in Musical Theatre. I love Taylor Swift and reading really long books!
Samples
"From the ruins of what once was/Rising from the ashes/And repairing the past hurts/Why mourn death/When you can celebrate/Rebirth" "A hunter on attack/Hoping to fulfill some predatory promise/Sensing a weakness/Smirking t the breathless catch beneath" "And instead of erase/I emerge/Holding a pen/And knowing that I am more/Than my broken parts/A poet with a warriors heart" "It was easy for you to melt me down and recycle me away/But for me/You linger like the burn of cheap booze in the back of my throat" "She should thank me for the war that I endured/So he could become a better man/... if he even can"
