Bending

Anxiety lives in wanting perfection
It begins in my fear of rejection
This nervous system in my head
Creates a downfall that lies ahead
Does self-loathing have an end
Before I feel myself start to bend?

Born and raised in San Diego, California, I am a creative and eccentric young woman who desires to be a writer. I am in currently studying creative writing at school and aspire to receive my masters in the future. I am two sides of one coin; I enjoy writing sensitive poetry, my own analysis on astrology and tarot and I write morbid short horror stories.
