Breathe is my first real attempt at writing. I've been wanting to write for awhile now, but the stories in my head never translated to paper well, until now. 

Poetry, on the other hand, was something different. I began writing poetry around eleven or twelve. It was the only way I could get my emotions out to my siblings without a waterfall of tears. 

When I grew up some, and found my voice more, poetry fell back, and eventually I didn't write anything for years. But I missed it. So, here I am now, many years later, finally writing a story, AND my poetry again. 

It's a good feeling.
