Believe and have Faith in your life. Live it the way God has written it within the pages of YOUR book. Bring alive the story that is for you to run free and for everyone else to read. My favorite thing in life is making EVERY moment a memory. The voice coming from your heart shows more than the fiction of the mind.- Rachael Busjahn
I love to read and write. I am in 6th grade so I'm really very young. I've always loved to write and when I found this website I thought I could let my inner feelings show a little more. Facts About Myself: -I like anime. (Hetalia specifically.) -I love the colors Royal Blue and Lavender. -I'm more of a back-crowd person as I put it. -I come off as very intimidating for my age so I don't have many friends. -I do ballet and soccer. That's all I'm giving out about myself so goodbye!!! ~^_^~
Blurb Saleha Begum is a writer and artist living in Birmingham. She was short-listed for the Muslim Writers award in 2011. 'Ruptures and Fragments', her first collection, combines poems with visual art. Drawn from a wide variety of sources and experiences, the poems explore human relationships, sometimes joyous, sometimes brutal, and the psyche, diving deep into the human condition, sorting and arranging, compartmentalising the external and what we are. This collection might leave the reader in a quandary but it will no doubt intrigue and encourage debate. Review "Shouting from the margins of society this is an engaging experimental collection that captures the stoicism of 21st century feminism through a combination of poetry and artistic metaphor. Saleha Begum exposes the ruptures and fragments of relationships and cultural identity through a nomadic style of wordplay that journeys both paradox and the de ja vu of similar experience." Antony Owen, author of 'The dreaded boy' "Saleha's poetry seems to dance and tease the mind, painting poignant images as they go. Lovely." Giovanni "Spoz" Esposito, Birmingham Poet Laureate 2006/7

Grew up on a little gem in the Caribbean, a tourist attraction the eyes never misses. There I had my education, primary through college. Life has always been a challenge but with God I keep climbing, and my dreams are slowing becoming. Writer, teacher, website owner of https://www.livingtoreachacme.com/ and more. Always loved poetry. I dreamed of poetry, tried but never thought I was good enough. Today, I am here, I stand only by the Grace of God. He is just so awesome!!!!
I've always been creative since I was a little girl. I would write poems, song lyrics, create things, draw, color and sing. My imagination was always big and vivid. As I got older I started to write short stories and even went to college to get a degree in creative writing. Well I ended up becoming a hairstylist which I love doing so much. I decided that writing was a hobby for me, a way to escape and release and I love it. I'm happy that I can be on here to share my talent with the world.
I started writing about a year ago, it helps me release my anger And sadness So I dont go for that blade... I was a cutter for almost four years,, I started at 14 and haven't cut for a couple months.. I tried everything to stop.. but nothing seemed to work. Someone told me to write my feelings down on paper then burn it, but I wanted to be creative, so I started to write my feelings down and it just became poetry.. Im not very good at it, but thats why im here. Please tell me what you think in the comments. Because I really want to improve :)
Everything that I write is about my personal life and things I've been through. I've been writing since I can remember and I won my first poetry contest in second grade and got it published in the school library. The next time, I was in 10th grade and the reason why I entered a contest was to prove that I in fact, did write the poem that was said to be "copywrited" and was offered to be published all over and I declined because I wasn't ready to share with the world, my life! Over the past 18 years I've lost quite a bit of my poetry and stopped writing due to having personal life issues as well as depression of losing my life story in multiple binders. So, less than a year ago I started writing my recent life story, again. So I hope everyone enjoys, the story of my love life over the past several years.
Hi, everyone. I've written poetry for almost 25 years now (since I was 14). My influences are predominantly rap and heavy metal songs. Eminem and Iron Maiden are amongst my favorites. While most people are driven by the rhythm or melody of a song, I pay lots of attention to the lyrics. I started out writing classical poetry, but when I hit my mid-thirties I began to develop a penchant for writing in more of a rap style. Many of my poems are soulful, raw, no-nonsense reflections of my views and observations, but not all. I have been hesitant about sharing them for well over a decade. It took me a long time to accept what I am: a poet. P.S. The pic is of my cat, Rocky =^.^=
I am a small poet. I started in a program called Badgerdog in school. I started really writing in 7th grade in 2008. I was published in 6 or 7 books called "youth voices in ink" This was the Badgerdog book that allowed me to be published. I am a simple writer who loves to write for fun. I am 19 years old and am soon to turn 20 on Sep. 4th.
