Well My name is Amanda and I am currently a Junior in High school. When I graduate I want to go to University for Music Journalism and Creative Writing. In my free time I enjoy snowboarding, Hip-Hop dancing and writing poems. My parents divorced when I was 2, I moved around a lot with my mom, when I was 6 she remarried and my step dad was an abusive alcholic, when I was 8 she got a divorce, and with that came a new boyfriend who was a meth addict and my mom got into it pretty bad. In 2001 my biological dad died and I got put into foster care, my mom put me up for adoption and now I am under guardian-ship. So far I have moved 13 times, but I think that everything happened for a reason. I am the Football Cheerleading Captain at my school, so from reading my poems and talking to me you proubably wouldn't guess off hand.
I said until the day I die I will spill my heart for you
Until the day that I die I swear that it is true
You said until the day I die you will spill your heart for me
Until the day I die you will forever care for me
...
This is real, this is me, this is who I want to be,
I am sorry, but I have to choose my own destiny.
I am taking two steps forward, and one step back,
This time I am making sure that I stay on the right track.
...
Your standing there with your pretty brown eyes,
Are you being for real or are you in disguise.
I met you not too long ago,
These feelings I cannot help, but show.
...
Ten million people each with their problems
why should anyone care
I am not just a girl vastly lost in this world
Lost in the sea of faces
...
she hides under covers afraid of the dark
shadows on the wall such a lasting mark
she tries to be brave and sheds no tear
Look inside you see nothing but fear
...
