How I began for me, for you


Starting from middle school,

With petty journal entries

Just to keep some days in my memories.

I filled a journal with a key, bent.

The book didn't fill my hearts content.

 

I carried on the feeling in high school

with my interest,

I put poetry to the test.

With fantasy and reality,

I weaved the words into something lively.

 

From the emotions and feelings of every day

With a learning and passionate heart

With words I can also create art

To the reader, for you

A friend that will listen when you come too

 

Every day I only wish to improve

To send out warmth, understanding, and hope;

You are not alone when you need to cope.

I started writing for myself and soon for you too.

One day, that you'll know you'll get through.

<p>I wrote this to explain how my passion for writing began. I started off with simple joournal entries, to poems and I&#39;m working on poems along with little drabbles.</p>
