Before we start

Before I start writing my poems I want to tell you a little about myself. I am a thirteen year old girl. I have a mother, father and two sisters who have become my best friends. When I started going to 7th grade I was still a happy confident girl. As the year went on everything felt as if it was slipping through my fingers, my friends, my health, and my self confidence. I started to become my own bully. I never really got bullied at school but when ever I was alone I would put myself down just with thoughts in my head. Things like you are ugly, you are weird, you don't deserve to have friends. It started to get really bad to the point where I was sad most days. Then we started doing poetry in one of my classes. I started to notice that getting my emotions on paper really helped me become happy. I started looking forward to doing poetry each day. After the unit was done I started writing poetry at home. My dad saw some of my poems one day and told me I had a real talent and should some how get these published. So I decided to start this blog. I am going to try to do a poem each week to start out. Some of these poems will make you sad. Some will make you happy. I hope all of them make you think about your life. Please leave comments. Tell me things that I could do to improve or things that you really liked. I hope to hear from you .
