 Guild petSo, as some of you may know, I am an English major and I write stories and poetry.
I hadn't written for a while since I was around 16 or 17.
But I'm currently taking a poetry and visual arts class to try to be inspired.
So far it's worked out well, I've started a new story, wrote a thought provoking essay (not for an assignment, just for fun), and wrote a few poems.
I will share some of these with you.
Keep in mind I am very insecure about what I write and I don't like sharing what I write.
But recently I realize if I'm going to get anywhere with my writing I'll have to learn to get used to it.

[All poetry is subject to change as I feel fit and they are not necessarily seperate or complete, I'm unsure whether I will combine them, add to them, change them, take parts away, etc.]
I seem to be a wallflower
Shy, quiet, just a background
But out of bravery
Or might it just be curiousity?
I come, just me
Alone, not posing as another
Completely of myself and in myself
This is my skin, these are my eyes
But it just blends
Forever behind, forever here but gone
I don't like the walls
Within which society likes to stand
Within which they try to keep me
But it is so hard to stay
And did I ever want to?
Some fall within the walls
I seem to always fall without
Without safety, without pride
Am I complete without?
I am still just me
And that's enough
Am I completely without?
I refuse, I am not
I am with hope, with fear
With honesty, with life and living
I try and try to push
You away
But you continue to pull
Me back
Against my will
I will not go
But I have already gone
You consume me
You're no longer there but
I am trapped
Will this not end
Take me away
Break me away if you must
I cannot continue
Survive, Surviving
But how much longer
I wish--
But I cannot
They just don't
Understand

Guild petMore Poetry
I speak to clear
Clear the minds
Which seem overwhelmed
Release, give way
But do I do that?
No, Anything but
I clutter
I mix
I create chaos
I mirror myself
Onto others
For even when I know
I don't
Even when I realize
I'm still in the dark
So I create such
So I change you
To make you as I am
So I am not
Alone
As I tell you all
I tell you nothing
It sounds wrong
It sounds right
Listen
But don't dare hear
Look
But you cannot see
Speak
But you will not say
Touch
But there is no way to feel
Am I keeping you
Here in my dark?
