Bio

i'm 16, i'm really interested in youth advocacy and do a couple projects involving it! i want to be a youth worker in future and idk, make a little difference in my little bit of the world - cliche i know. i love movies, skating, people, music, my cat, and life in general, looking at the world with love makes it seem a whole lot more lovely.

My first poem..?
Poetry / by calmCucumber7857

...See more I haven't written poetry — or anything, really — in a long time, and on a whim I decided to try it out again. please give me grace as I am confident in the fact that this is not that good — and that's okay, it's a learning process. I just wanted to try it out and see what you guys thought (: I'm Not a Poet I'm not a poet I don't have the patience The words seem to run I define complacence And I haven't the time I'd never be done Though there's so much, So much to write about But I'm not a poet I can't capture it Or find the words And I'd shout But would I be heard? I could scream For all these surreal scenes Sunlight engulfing a crowded street Worn out jeans Love lined concrete And the greetings of trees But I'm not a poet I can't find the words And it's hard to see I'm not a poet Though if I were I'd write letters on love and those sent from above I'd have the words Maybe I'd write of pain Or the comfort of rain The familiarity of cold And never growing old But I'm not a poet And the page is aflame No, I'm not a poet I couldn't be I'm nothing interesting And the words seem to flee Never truly nesting I'm running out of time I can't align It must be me I can't write I resign — No longer can I blame the words I am not right And I won't be heard

...See more hey guys! i'm 16 tryna go into recovery, got my first actual meeting tonight. i know 16 is pretty early to start doing all this but substances have been messing up my life for years now, and i don't wanna keep going in this cycle anymore. it's taken me a long time to realise i am powerless toward drugs and alc, but hey, i've gotten there now and that's the first step. i just wanted to share this post to remind y'all that no matter who you are, how bad it seems, or whatever, that you CAN do this. there is a better life out there for us all, we just have to put in the work to get there. if anyone's got any tips or anything to share they'll be very appreciated, much love guys 💙 we're in this together.
