August Forster

If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

My name is august Forster. I am 16 years of age, and i live in Ruidoso, New Mexico. At the age of 13, I started writing short stories. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with an extreme case of depression. I self- harmed for over 2 years.During this time I fell in love with poetry.I started writing about my feelings and my thoughts, soon i put them into poems. I have written over 45 poems in the last 7 months. Poetry was a medicine that wasn't prescribed to me, and one of the only ones that worked.I put power into my poems, make them mean something,and they all connect to me.I feel like some of my poems could change the way someone is to see another for the good.I am currently looking for scholarships and money for college. I hope that you enjoy my poems!- August Forster
