Life requires effort, poetry requires attention. Tower of Babel is my best poem, along with Wrong Way to Salvation, and Between You and Me

I am writing my life now

My name is Tim, and i am a poet, or i like to think of myself as one.

idek bro.

I dive in the deepest, but will reside on the surface

I am Kaitlyn. I am a Senior in High School. Writing is what helps me get through the day and life in general and now i have somewhere where i can share my thoughts, poems and songs.

I have been writing since as long as I could remember. I'm not a great writer, but it's a way to vent for me as well as express. I hope you like my work and can give me feed back.

Grew up on a little gem in the Caribbean, a tourist attraction the eyes never misses. There I had my education, primary through college. Life has always been a challenge but with God I keep climbing, and my dreams are slowing becoming. Writer, teacher, website owner of https://www.livingtoreachacme.com/ and more. Always loved poetry. I dreamed of poetry, tried but never thought I was good enough. Today, I am here, I stand only by the Grace of God. He is just so awesome!!!!

My name is Sydney and I love to write. My biggest dream is that some day everyone will be able to read my work, and I can inspire at least one person in this world in some way, shape or form. Creating a better world one poem at a time. Edgar Allan Poe fanatic.

I have been through a lot of emotional turmoil in my life. Dealing with life was hard for me and still is. Writing has always been my savior. I can honestly say that writing my feelings out and going through what I have gone through has made me a HAPPY person. Hope some people can enjoy and relate. Thanks!

Native American. College Student. Practical and imaginative. I like to wonder about the elements and try to see them as my ancestors did. My life is a savage duality of tradition and eccentric Americana.

I am 17 years old, and I have gone through many things that a 17 year old shouldn't go through. I lost my sister when I was 11 years old, and I lost my uncle when I was 15, and I lost my aunt when I was 15 years old too. My Aunt went through depression and ended up killing herself, and my Uncle was a firefighter and was going on a call and his firetruck flipped over and he died. My other Aunt died of Cancer and so did my Grandpa (who was fighting for 4 long years), and my Cousin had a heart attack. As of right now my Great Aunt has cancer in her ovaries, and my Grandma has breast cancer. I have a big chance on getting cancer too, when I'm older. I found out when I was 14 years old that my whole life was a lie. My moms boyfriend at this time ended up being my biological father and my dad, mom, or my real dad never told me about it. My real father told me out of anger that I was really his child. It took me 3 years to deal with this fact, because of this I have 3 men in my life. I have my daddy (who is the man who raised me and is my best friend), I have my mom (the women who tried her best for me and my many siblings), and I have my biological father (who is now trying and is there for me). I also have 6 brothers and sisters who are there for me when I need them. I went through a lot of depression when I was 10 years old to 15 years old. I use to cut a lot and I haven't in almost 3 years.Everyone says God works in many of different ways and loosing all the people I have makes me wonder about God. But I do go to Church and Youth group and I do know that there's a God, A Heaven, and that Angels are real. My poetry helps me get through all the things that I've gone through. I am a survivor, I have had many terrible things happen in my life, and all the things I just shared with you isn't all of them. I am strong, and I know I can go through any situation no matter how big or small.

After all I've been through, I just want to share with the world , just how beautiful recovery is.

Hello, Everyone & Welcome To My Page. I Just Wanted To Tell You A Little Bit About My Writing. When I Write, I Don't Follow The Well-known Poetry Rules. I Just Write. I Don't Use Big Words In Them Either. To Me, That Makes It More Complicated For The Reader. Especially If My Poem Is Relating To Teenage Issues. They'll Probably Get Lost Along The Way, & Zone Out. Also, Most Of My Writing Is Created Through Emotion. I'm A Very Sensitive Person, So I Write Things Out Instead Of Complaining To Everyone. This Way Is MUCH Easier For Me. I Have Over 400 Poems. I Was Hoping I Could Meet People Who Share The Same Interests & Ideas With Me. My Goal Is To Change The World Through Poetry, & , After All ; I've Got To Start Somewhere.

I like writing poems in my spare time and my life revolves around books and writing related tasks.

My name is Megan. I'm 19. I write poems when I can. I'm not a professional but I think poetry is an amazing way to express yourself. My style is quite dark and 'gothic', purely because I have struggled with mental health for five years, and instead of harming myself I write all the hurt I feel on paper. It doesn't work all the time but I guess every time it does makes it all worthwhile. I swear I'm not all doom and gloom!, I love music and animals and reading and art, & I work as a volunteer at my local foodbank. Yeah, guess I have a boring life, but if you'd like to know more gimme a message. Thanks, fellow poets

I've been told that I'm a book of contradictions. I'll start with the basic stuff: I'm 23 years old. I have 3 siblings: one sister and two brothers. I was born in Savannah, GA and raised in the state of GA. After graduating from Gilmer High School, I went through a period of emotional tragedy that led me to the cross of Jesus Christ. At this point in my life, I realized that all of my sins had caused Him to pay the price that I should have paid. Upon this realization, I fell to my knees and repented with all of my heart (the best way I knew how to, anyways). When this occurred, Jesus set me free. He set me free from my sin, from my negativity, from my selfishness, from myself. He gave me love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness and temperance by His Spirit, the Comforter of God's children. He wrote my name in heaven, and He gave me His Word to guide me until the day I get there. Praise be to God for this wonderful gift! So, as you may have guessed, I am completely dedicated to the cause of Christ. Nobody, nothing will detour me from serving my God. Although I may stumble and fail time and time again, I keep getting back up and pushing onward for Jesus. In the end, He is the only One that matters, anyways; everything else in life is ultimately meaningless without God! They say that I have a very eccentric personality; I would concur. I have my "extremes", I suppose. I can be very hyper and energetic with my friends (to the point to where I annoy them), and I can also be very quiet and to myself. It just depends on what mood I am in, really. Overall, I'm an introverted extrovert. Although I enjoy conversing with people, I prefer to stay within myself and to think about the deep things of life. And by deep things, I don't mean just academic stuff; rather, I mean the things that really matter. The things that we will carry with us into eternity. The things that God cares about are the things that we should care about, for God is good, and His Word is good, too. Whatever His Scriptures state is true; that is what we should cling to, for His truth is the ultimate source of truth that we have. Without it, we are ultimately doomed to wander in the darkness of this world. It is a light to the lost sinner and a source of comfort to the redeemed. Praise God for it! I think very abstractly.... that's just one of my personality quirks. I think in angles that most people don't think in. I am also a people watcher; I enjoy sitting back and observing people in the midst of conversation. I'm always wondering what's going through someone's head and why they are thinking that way. I guess I'm just one of those kind of thinkers. My hobbies are simple. I enjoy reading the classics (To Kill a Mockingbird, A Pilgrim's Progress, etc.). I enjoy thinking about stuff. My most joyous past time, however, relates to music. I have a jukebox for a brain, so I always think in terms of numbers and music (math and music go hand in hand for some reason. I enjoy both!). I have been playing guitar for over eight years, and I continue to do so with the utmost joy! I write my own music and apply it to God's Kingdom. Everything you see on here will reflect the goodness of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May it honor and glorify Him!

I'm been writing poetry as long as I can remember. Growing up I faced several traumas which affected my health and made me very ill. Poetry has always been my escape, something I do when I feel I need to express my feelings and I am only able to make sense of them when pen meets paper. Originally I only ever wrote poems for myself, almost like a private diary. However after one of my teachers came across my poem book I received enormous amounts of praise for my work and how she felt she really connected with one of my pieces as it was something close to her heart. This made me consider being more open with my poetry and a friend of mine recommended I start showing them to the public which is my reason for joining Poeticous. My poems aren't fantastic but they mean very much to me and I hope you will be able to connect with them. Always great full of feedback- I'd love to here from you! -Hannah
