So this is my first Wattpad work, so I decided to just do a very rough compilation of my early poetry and song lyrics. Since I did this poetry in middle school basically, its very raw and maybe not the typical poetry format. Its not the best poetry you'll ever read in your life and I didn't use many poetic writing techniques but these poems were written from my thoughts and experiences from that time. This work is basically and introduction to the old Erika. (Ignore my lame cover photo. I'm still a wattpad noob)
Its not very good to be fully honest, but I believe this is the first step I should take if I want to do future works.
Most of these poems are direct, with almost no symbolism. Only one of the poems has symbolism. The other poems are very vague with references to very personal matters, so it will be hard to understand what I'm actually saying.
