Poetry
Poems that are like a roller coaster. Your life is up and down, all around and you can't breathe, so I write. Because there's no where/way else I can express my feelings without simply lashing out on someone. Things get rough, but I am living proof that life does get better. If you're young or older, you have so much ahead of you that you have no idea. By putting my mind to it, I was able to graduate high school in nine months at the age of sixteen, I've also been given the pleasure of enjoying the simple things in life. Like the sunrise, the birds, the clouds in the sky, and my favorite, the stars in the night sky. I enjoy life much more realizing that life hasn't given up on you, and if you're not dead, you haven't given up on yourself. So keep trying because as lovely as sleeping forever sounds, you were born from a tiny embryo that grew into a living, breathing, beautiful human being and that is not a mistake. A mistake is adding salt to your cookies instead of sugar. Please enjoy.

"Growing up around fairytales, Disney princesses and teen films, we are raised to believe that happy endings are always in store for us. But more often than not, reality sinks in, and the happy ending doesn't occur. Especially in high school. The main reason I liked this book so much was because it was so real. It was a love that was destined to crumble from the start, and yet, you kept pushing your luck. We've all been there. The late night texts from your crush waking you up to talk about nothing, the unexpected butterflies when you see him, the gross flaws he possess that you don't seem to notice, or the small things he does that turn you on. Most importantly, we learn that love truly is blind. We're unobservant to the world around us when our teenage love obsession is staring down at us with those big, brown, adorable eyes of theirs. And then when we wake up from this dream-like state that is a first love, we realize that he's not this perfect, older, mature man... but this boy."
