My name is emma giddings. I am a horrorjunkie, and I love music. I was diagnosed with panic disorder, and it has been an inspiration to a lot of my writing, seeing as it made me quite depressed. I am very dark, and I love that about myself. I also love dark people, with a morbid sense of humor. I used to self mutilate quite a bit. It seemed like an addiction, and sometimes it seems like I'm about to relapse. It is one of my major struggles. Yet, I tell people I am over it. I drink maybe more than I should. I'm still trying to find myself. Writing helps a lot with this. I feel less alone when I write... I feel like someone is listening. Like someone understands. I'm not a sad person per say. Just dark. I don't hate my life...but like everyone, I think it could be better. I've started to hate my body. My idols include: Stephen King, Joan Jett, and Dee Snider. I love classic rock, punk, and thrash metal. I hope people read my poems...and feel something...and if they do, I hope they let me know.

Hi, I'm Sara and I'm a 16 year old girl from the Northern United States. I'm in a relationship with an amazing guy, we've been together for five months and I love him with all of my heart. I love to write. I write about love, depression, or anything else I feel. This is my outlet and is leading me toward recovery from self harm, depression, anxiety, and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). These poems are my life. Thanks!

i say what you can't.
