Hear My Battle Cry
Dear Shyness
You with your Hesitance and Fearfulness
I've got Courage, Strong as this Shell
You'll be sent straight back to Hell
Dear Shame
You with your Guilt and Blame
I've Forgiveness, Flawless as I
You'll no longer hear me Cry
Dear Rage
You with your Violence and Vengance
I'm filled with Peace, still as a Lake
Gentle Turtle I Shall Make
Dear Anxiety
You with your Restlessness and Desperate Mess
I've got Music, My Salvation
Hear my Song, Freed of Damnation
Dear Depression
You with your Brokeness and Emptiness
I've got Faith, Hope, Love, and Joy
God is Real, You, I Destroy

Awkward Turtle
I'm currently a Freshmen in College and am pursuing Musical Therapy as my long term goal in Life. I battled Depression through my Sophomore Year into the end of my Junior year of High School, and finally overcame it and am living my life discovering new ways to battle my Anxiety in positive ways and learning new ways to Love Myself for who I am. I have Chromo Synesthesia, meaning I associate colors to Music, Letters, and Numbers. The world around me is so Different from the way everybody else experiences it, and I never started writing Poetry until this past May, when I discovered it being a new Outlet for my Anxiety. I'm hoping if all else fails in my Life, these first hand experienced emotions and stories I tell in my poetry will impact someone's life and give them Hope for the Brighter Future they have ahead in their Life.
