I want to publish my poems
But I'm too scared to committ

I want to write a song
But the notes I cannot hit

I want to live my life
But I always want to quit

I want to help the planet
But there's too much wrong with it

I want to stop climate change
But the threat that it poses some idiots won't admit

I want my voice to be heard
But since I'm queer, young, and female my voice counts for shit

I needed a description 
So I typed this and hit submitt

4. Memories and Feelings That Still Haunt Me

68 parts Complete Mature

I've cried too hard for too long as I debated death. Over and over, all I wanted was a quick overdose, a quick way to escape the pain. Until the guilt set it and made me realise, suicide feels too selfish. Instead I turned my sadness into art and my pain into strength. Desperately wanting to carve up my skin, I bled on a page. My screams are silent, hidden behind closed doors, And computer screens. All these horrible emotions kept secret in notebooks. I'm too afraid to speak about it, so I write it down That's how my poetry is made. ~The birth of poetry -Me ____ First place in 2021 Irenic Awards poetry catergory Highest rankings: #16 original work #2 relapsing
