I started writing poetry when i was ten years old. I first read Edgar Allen Poe and he has been my inspiration. My son also inspires me to write. I have had a pretty hard life growing up and thats what started my writing. I enjoy it. My life has had alot of downs and jve been alone most of the time but i also have been diagnosed as a manic depressant. I mainly just write about my feelings and pain i have.
