Catherine

I was 13 years old and searching for something more... i wanted a way to express myself to where , whether it was positive or negative, someone out there would think it was beautiful. I started writing poetry that made me feel like i was venting out all my love, anger, hatred and unexplained emotions in a way that people could understand...i think thats when i started really writing and becoming serious about this. This is what takes it all away, and sends me into this completely different world. Sometimes it just comes to me, in the middle of watching reruns of madtv, emotions that i set aside, and later ... this orchestra of words. I find it truly peaceful and relaxing, and if everything else disappeared from the world, i would find peace in knowing i still had a 7 year old box of nothing but MY LIFE on countless sheets of paper.
