Currently, I live in Maryland, US but we move a lot because my dad is in the Army, so I'm a military kid. I have four siblings, two of which are adopted from Poland. I started writing poetry when I was twelve years old, and I joined poemhunter.com at 14 years old. Right now I am in the middle of a gap year before high school, which I know is unusual but so am I XD. Emily Dickinson is my favorite poet. I enjoy writing poetry because of the stories you can tell with rhymes or alliteration - or even just stanzas without either of those things. I like how some poems have hidden messages (which I like to put in mine) . I believe in the Christian faith. I'm not the best at poetry yet but I hope to get better with time - no one is perfect at it when they're my age I assume.: P Thanks for reading my bio, and I hope you enjoy my poems!

Just before the first snow comes,
The lake nearby is overcome
An icy shield is spread around,
Those underneath are safe and sound.
...
I'm not controlling it.
It's the voice in my head
You told me I was good enough
But I listened to the voice instead
...
I don't want to talk about it.
I don't want you to see,
I'll explain in a minute
but for now
...
The words don't flow the same
Right now they're hard to tame
No longer floating around in my brain,
I thought hard but nothing came.
...
She runs breathing hard
Branches draw blood as she tears them apart
Tears dancing in her face
Eyes gleaming with the light of the moon
