I am a typical 17 year old girl. I hang out with my friends, go to the beach, and love a boy I can't have. I gaze at the stars at night and find myself too wrapped up into movies- stories of wonderful lives that aren't mine. I have witnessed no life-changing experiences. I am lucky to have the life I live, I have felt no serious hurt in my few years, and yet I write anyways. Many think a good artist must be tragic, he must have lived through something terrible and devastating. But I'm here writing about my life and the world I live in- through the eyes of youth and inexperience. I hope you like what you find.
So there’s this poet in my garden.
He sits right by the willow tree.
Listening to the words I say,
As he morphs them into beauty.
...
You were so waiting for me to jump into the deep end
Where the splash would engulf and wash away
Everything
I have ever dreamed
...
They say that she is a beautiful dancer.
Her limbs follow the music.
Her heart pulses to the beat.
Satin-wrapped toes click
...
Saline eyes drift along the shore
Somehow asking for a muse once more
They fall upon
A barren rock
...
