The History of My Poetry

I have been writing since I was in Seventh Grade.

While I started off well and gradually put out some pretty good stuff here and there for the first four years I was inconsistent. I would more often than not put out what I not realise was angsty bullshit.

Late Sophomore Year I started to pick up speed, but Junior Year of High School is when I truly started to shine down. From there on it's been picking up nicely I'd say. In total it's been 8 years now.

If there is but one thing I wish I could bring back from my slower years it was my eagerness to write. I would write daily and frequently. I would write in my sleep almost. In bed I would keep paper and pencil near by just in case I thought of something that I of course thought was brilliant while attempting to go to sleep. I am unsure of the true count but so far I have read damn near 200 poems that I wrote just from Seventh Grade until My Junior Year ALONE.

I am certainly starting to get back into momentum, but not quite like I used to be. Difference being that I as an Angsty, Sad, and Borderline Depressed High School Teenager... I had no real friends... People I thought I would be friends with forever who now mostly I do not associate with at all. I rarely went out of my house. All I really did was write. Currently I am proud to say I HAVE A LIFE.

I started this blog to revert back into the Auther/Poet I once was and to gain more Introversion. I'm slowly closing off to the outside world. And I like it.
