I caught wind of poetry when my english teacher submitted a poem of mine into the Anthology of Poetry for Young Americans in 2012. At first, I was not too serious about writing poetry, but as the years went on, I needed a way to creatively express myself and poetry was there. I started off writing songs but it somehow turned in poetry. I found that I loved how Edgar Allan Poe and Sylvia Plath expressed their emotions through poetry. I figured if they could do then I could, too. Writing is something I am extremely passionate about. Poetry is my escape and life is my muse. I kind of think of myself as an Alchemist; I transform pain into beauty and dark into light.view less
