Im 25 years old. I love music and poetry. My favourite bands are Nirvana and Franz� ferdinand and my favourite poet is william blake. I like to explore� more subversive subjects with my poems and the side of mental illness people never hear about.I have mental health issues myself and it fascinates me how the mind can have very poweful effects over peoples moods and behaviour and how people always view this as strange. What if people with psychosis have tapped into a strong channel of power within the mind that allows them to see things in people or scense things "normal people" cant. But they dont know how to control it or it scares them so much they cant deal with it ? This is what interests me.Kurt cobain was my idol and i feel a lot of the pain that comes through in his lyrics. It was him that inspired me to write my first poem. I 'm no singer so i couldnt realy follow him in to music but poetry has become a passion of mine now.
