If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you
Hi! I am a senior at a small high school in Alabama. I began writing poetry when I took an online class in 10th grade and I loved it. So, I just kept writing until this day. Poetry really is an important part of me now. It helps me put my thoughts on paper and put it out there in the world. It has helped me through bad times and good ones! My dream is to write and publish a poetry book for everyone in the world. I try to write my poems in a way that makes you think, everyone can relate to, and feel within their hearts and minds. Besides poetry though, I write short stories and I am currently working on a full length book. Other than that I hope you enjoy my work and I hope you have a wonderful day/night. - Austin
You wanted me to give you the world,
I would if I could,
But what I saw in you was everything
So you left me....
Alone drifting forever lost.
I saw my universe in your eyes.
But I guess all you saw in me was
Worthlessness and fragility.
I am like glass
Able to break at any moment.
But able to hurt when broken.
Shatter me and destroy me,
If you must.
So careful where you tread.
Because you may soon bleed,
Just as I have.
Many times.
