Bio
I write poems and, sometimes, longer short stories. My inspiration comes from my feelings. I take into account what I am trying to express and then do my best to express those feelings through words.

Finding Happiness
"I do not want to find my happiness because you stay." She said. "I want to find it in the empty crevasses you left behind when you have gone away. I want to build beds of flowers and grow them tall. I want to mend those broken peices into a garden wall. With pine trees that sweep across the sky, And furry creatures running by." She closes her eyes, and said, "I want to take the pain of your departure, And create a world that is much larger."
