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

My choosing
Topic of my choosing, poem in the write.
Should I write of horror? Or of beaming lights?
What to jot down , nothing in the mind.
Too many topics, thoughts racing in this rhyme.
How about the ocean? Nah, that's already taken,
It’d be too much for me. No great ideas come into the head
.
This is my topic, i’m going to bed.
