Hello. My name is, as you all have probably already seen, Andrea. I'm currently 19 and studying literature and law in college.
I don't know exactly when I started writing; but once I picked it up I just couldn't stop. Writing is one of my many outlets. It's exhilarating to put your feelings down on paper and when you're done, to read what you have created and feel pleased. Even though I go through long periods of writers block, I somehow manage to write something down - usually at three in the morning. No, I am not a Shelley, Frost, Dickinson, or Poe but hopefully my poetry is a bit as enjoyable as theirs. Please, critique away; don't hold back. After all, that's one of the main reasons I decided to join this site.
I hope you all enjoy what I have up so far.

Please give me your attention
I’m not talking for my health

...
If you think I’m going to bother you
You are mistaken
Because darling
I’m starting to slowly realize
