Turned my life into art by _teenage_poet_

My collection of poems in the past three years which leads to character development. Realistic incidents, illusionary love, hardships, it's quite a journey. Some say I'm unique and some say I'm Raw. Some say my work is relatable and some feel they can relate. That's crazy though, makes me want to be heard. I was quiet as feathers basically my whole life, closed up, antisocial, lost. Until I started writing. Although, I didn't open my mouth, I was even louder than before. Excuse me, I am louder!

He Taught Me How To Find Myself by GabbyBhengu

"You did Maths Ada, and you're smart. Langa and you are so fucking negative. Two negatives make a positive, so like I said, you two deserve each other" ●°○°●°○°●°○°●°○°●°○°●°○°●°○°●° I always lived my life the way people wanted me to live it. After watching "The Princess Diaries" I realized that my life was controlled, I've been told how to live it. One day I decided to break the rules, I also wanted to feel the adrenaline they described in books. I was sick of living in someone else's story through books, it was now the time to create my own. ...who knew that all it took to finding yourself was a cute waiter at "Vue Sur l'océan"

Yours Truly, Mooncalf by fuzzbrain

This is a personal documentation through poetry. I am learning to look inward now, give myself love when I least want to. I do not live to love others, I live to love myself. I will find and create what is enough for me, and you will learn to let it be enough for you. 2022
