I am a student, and I am from the Netherlands too. I love to read, I love to write, and I sing songs when I feel like I need to. I love my family, but sometimes I feel like a burden. Like my thoughts are too heavy, and my feelings are too much. Then I found poetry. Now I can write my thoughts, I can write my feelings, and let the words carry what I cannot always say. Poetry became a place where I can be myself, where my thoughts can breathe, and where I don't have to hide.
