I've been writing all my life, but before I hadn't realized I was able to write. I was laughed at before by my class when one of my teachers had made me look like a fool when writing some of my poems in primary school. I recently started writing again last year in 9th grade and was afraid to show anyone. But later, friends found out and they told more people, and I wasn't laughed at. It gave me more confidence to write and share my poetry. I know I'm not the best writer, but I try. I hope you enjoy them too!
Am I broken
Going insane
Has my path been chosen
Or maybe have a broken brain
...
We see thieves in shackles,
Murderers in ball and chains,
Human traffickers in manacles,
Torturers strapped in reins…
...
Writing poetry helps find the voice for my thoughts I can't say
Helps express all the feelings I don't allow myself to embrace
Most of them are dark, I'll admit
But it shows my true emotion when I'm writing it
...
This is the way
The story of everyday
The same old heat
Same old rhythm, same old beat
...
