I am 16 years old and am a junior in high school. I just started writing songs and poems at the beginning of the 2009 summer and I realized that I liked it a lot. I hope to make a career out of writing my poems and songs one day. I would say that I am most influenced by Jim Morrison and Bob Dylan, although i think Morrison stands out a little more in me than Dylan. I hope anyone who reads my songs and poems can give me an honest opinion on em cuz i just want to improve more and more with my songwriting abilities. Thank you and goodnight.

After the sunrise had lighten up the morning sky
I hung my head and began to cry
My girl was gone, left in the night
I didn’t know why, could’ve just told me out right
...
Listen to the wind cry its longing song
Insert yourself, find where you being
All this time ive gone unknown
And my fear is all ive shown
...
She was my lover
And I was her saint
And we said I love you
Until our voices were faint
...
Let me decay back into the earth
Make me known to what I was worth
A great ascending mountain range
With a small home on top
...
I can remember how I was
A long time ago
So innocent and young
Free to play in the snow
...
