I'm 18 years old and i hope to get better at writing poetry.I'm looking for some direction and advice to make my poems better or u can just get to no me.im a sophmore in high school. i first started writing poetry back back when i felt i could tell no one my feelings cuz i couldnt trust them. and since then i grew a love for putting my feelings down on paper. it's fun and easy and i do it quit often. a lot of people judge my poems and half the time they dont even no what they are about.they always assume and im struggling with the thought that i should just stop writing poetry all together just to make them happy. my life, well lets just say its different. not a very normal one but whose is now-a-days. everyday gets a little harder and im seeing that im needing to write things down a lot more recently. im not saying im a professional at writing poetry its just something i love to do. i write my poems based on what happens in my life so each one of them is a little peice of me that i take away from the day so i'll feel better.
You showed me the way to go when the fork in the road appeared.
You taught me right from wrong when i need it the most.
I always looked up to you for guidance.
By looking back i see that it never happened.
...
No one knows what is going thru my head.
as I slide the glimmering blade over my wrist.
While I watch the red crimson flow down my fingers
Dripping onto the once white tile floor.
...
Not liking what things are turning out to be.
Twisted things not coming out the right way.
I'm starting to change the real me.
My inner voice telling me to stay.

To Nicole, my sweet… my love… my Bella
