I started writing poetry, or writing, because it kinda felt like I had to in order to stay a little bit more sane, as an outlet I guess, to put down even things that I didn’t quite understand. I also like to admire other people’s beauty and how special they are. I love reading and finding poems I can relate to, just like songs. I started writing when I was around 15 and ever since then I carry a journal with me all the time, just in case; it’s become part of my life now and I love it.

There was love but there was also
desperation and youth. So much youth.
There was an enormous desire to give it all
without knowing it could empty me in a second.
It was unknown territory but it felt so warm
and when you held me close
when you traced my face,
I loved you, there’s no doubt… it was love,
despite what anyone, even you, might think.
I haven’t loved again ever since
and I was very sure I was going to soon again
but no. I don’t know anymore, don’t know
anything about it, don’t know where you are
and what you’re doing and I’m not aching to know
who you’re with anymore and I thought that concerned
me when I loved you but even then it didn’t
because you never loved me.
It was like I was carrying a box of candy
when I loved you, I had so much to give
and I wanted to give it all because it was
the first time, and I heard the risks, they
told me about them like I understood a word;
I couldn’t see anything but a pair of
green eyes.)

If sex is a natural stage of life and I don’t
have it, does that mean I’m going against nature?
is that too dramatic? well too bad, I’m a bit dramatic.
at this point in my life I’m open to everything,
to learn and listen about everything, to hear it all
so I can make up my own opinions
I love the beliefs that we humans come up with,
like I believe in God but not in church
like I also believe in the universe and the power
of the stars. All that information was given to me
at some point and somewhere in the middle I decided
that’s what I believe in.)
