Biography

I'm an extroverted person that had to struggle with finding my own identity. Being something other than the norm was seen as weird or taboo and led to gossip being made about you, which led me to begin writing poems. I used poetry to let go of frustrations I had and to cope with being myself. My poems generally don't rhyme and focus on more on mental struggles such as anxiety, panic attacks and self harm. I hope that posting my poems here can somehow someday help someone feeling the same way I used to or still do

Starry nights

Here I am floating in the starry night Filling my head with thoughts of delight Flying through the atmosphere In fear. That I might go too far and reach the expanding abyss Here I am floating in the starry night Drifting aimlessly through the black void Without a tether... without a voice In fear That I might drift back into earth's orbit and plummit to the core Here I am falling through the starry night Feelings of dread and worry fill my head Knowing that after this I will be ... Fills me with peace and tranquility I plummit through the atmosphere In fear... That I might survive -Keegan Van Vuuren
