You've surfaced upon the sweet scents and daunting tints of My blood dwelling life, expressed in the form of poetry. Bubbly and lighter from the outside but a misty shade darker, on the inside, Portrayed through self depicting tales edged by hope and driven by love. *READ IN A BLACK SCREEN* •style• The style of poetry in this storyline, mainly follows a sequence, starting with lines of fate and our attraction towards each other to being hated from every perspective, yet with hope in our hearts leads us to tie knots. Although, the last part hasn't yet occurred in our life, with hope and heaven's will, we will achieve it. •explanation• Accordingly, after every poem, a comment will be entered, describing what my poetry depicts, to untangle my lines, for anyone that doesn't get my meaning behind it. I'm still 15, It's very personal, and it's the first time I've ever displayed my sour life on a screen. Please be kind and do not hate. 16.11.18-started 02.01.19-first published 04.01.19- #22 in poetry 10.01.19- #3 in poetry 16.01.19- #37 in god 17.01.19- #33 in future 18.01.19- #32 in future 19.01.19- #30 in future 30.01.19- #394 in god 06.02.19- #33 in hope
