I was born in Germany while my father, Todd Robbins Jr., was over seas in the army. My family (my mother Pattrica, my father, my brother (also named Todd) , and myself arrived in the United States when I was only two years of age.
I was placed in a foster care home at the age of nine. This is when I became interested in poetry because I loved the way that you could use words to say feelings but you could hide them to those who never quite understood what they ment.
I begain writing my own poems when I was about eleven. A lot of those poems are lost in the past. My oldest poem on this page would be 'The Watcher' which I wrote in school to a book which was called THE WATCHER, (author's name I can't remember) . The first line in that poem is located in the book.
I soon begain to write more and more. And hopefully I will write a lot more.
My poems deal with a lot of feelings and sometimes you have to go through something in your life to fully get the consept of what I have written. I just hope you can sit back and enjoy the talent that God has given me and I now share with you.
When it rains I miss your touch.
When it snows I miss your warmth.
When the sun comes up I miss your kiss.
When the moon rises I miss your embrace.

The hardest things aren't being in trouble when you're supposed to go out with your friends.
The hardest things aren't standing in front of a crowd of people and having to speak, all alone.
The hardest things aren't making up with someone after a big fight over nothing.
The hardest things aren't forgiving someone when they're wrong and they've hurt you.
...
The lighting brings back memories.
The thunder shows my anger.
As the rain washes it away.
...
'And now I'm finally free.'
All alone, on the steps of my prison.
All alone, no one to talk to.
...
Rain drops kiss my face, a tear leaves my eye.
I see how bad you hurt, but you don't see me cry.
I know life is hard, and it seems no one is here to care.
But no matter what happens, you know I will be here.
