I grew up in a family of 8, in Savannah, Georgia, USA. I began writing poetry around the age of 13. My last two years of highschool I lived in Costa Rica and Chile. I am now a senior in college, studying Art with a concentration in oil painting. I am also a singer/songwriter/musician.
Trembling verbal incarnation
I am a contradiction
Of systems, of values, of attitudes,
Of statements, of words, of meanings.
...
In deepest, darkest fear I ran to hide.
Fast did my feet and my heart in rhythm pound,
Breaking a dead silence the only sound,
‘Til in dread despair to you, Lord, I cried.
...
(These are the lyrics to a song I wrote...)
When I'm running away and scared
And all, it seems, is hopeless
...
Nothing's obvious anymore.
Always, 'It's complicated'.
Remember the days when
Life was so clear?
