My autobiography ( a work in progress)About my poetry
2007-04-11
lately i've been going through my old poetry. i have like 5 compostion books of poetry since 2003. that's quite a bit. anyway. and i noticed something. just from my poetry anyone could pretty much figure my life for the past four years. it's so easy.... but anyway.
i write poetry to get things out of my head and to let out pain and anger. because... i hold things in for awhile. until it's physically causing me pain. my stomach hurts, my chest hurts, and my hands hurt. it feels like i'm physically holding something inside. anyway... then i write a poem or two and it's like pressure being released. it's such an amazing feeling.
i started my poetry notebooks in 2003, when i was in eigth grade. but i really started writing poems when i was in fifth grade. 1999. that was awhile ago. i remember one of my teachers were amazed at the language i used and how i used it. she was also amazed at the rythm and flow of the poems. when she would praise my poetry it encouraged me to write more.
i've been writing poetry for eight years now. i've probably written upwards of 200 poems. i've never been able to count them all because some have been lost. but i am eventually get together all of my best poems and try to get the collection published. i may throw in a few of the short stories i've written as well. wish me luck!
