I wrote this about 5 years ago when I was an emotional teenager. I in no way feel like this anymore.. but it well represents that time in my life. I hope it did not scare anyone. I love to write poetry that exaggerates my emotions to extremes. I have been writing since I was about 4 years old. My very first poem I ever wrote was for my Mum and she was astounded that a 4 year old could write this way:

"When a heart breaks open,
an angel appears" - Me

She still has the little piece of purple construction paper I cut into a heart to write it on. She keeps it close and safe. Poetry is how I vent, it keeps me sane and grounded even when my world is in chaos.
