Little Poetry Projects

When I was younger, I wrote a lot; mainly sad poetry and bad attempts at fanfiction. I met my first best friend on here. Before I took my first creative writing class, I hadn't written anything decent in a long time. Whenever I sat down in front of a blank word document, all the things I had to say would disappear. I took writing classes because I wanted to write again. I wanted to have things to say and actually be able to express them.

I'm really proud of everything that I've written. Some pieces are better than others, but they're all mine, and that matters. I feel like my approach to writing creatively has changed. I realized that I don't have to write things that are absolutely perfect. Sometimes writing anything, even if it's "bad," is better than nothing. There are things that I wish I had said better and stories that are too bad to fix, but that's okay because it's part of the writing process. And sometimes a story you may absolutely hate is someone else's favorite.

This is a collection of poetry that I'm willing to share with the world. I hope my words make you feel something.
