Hello, I'm a 30 year old female. I've been writing poetry since I was 16. Most of the poems come from a time when I was addicted to drugs. I have written since then, just not as often. Every time I felt the need to express myself, I put it down on paper.
These poems have spent several years in a binder, not a lot of people have had the opportunity to read them. I remember one time, my mother coming to me in tears after discovering my work and reading it. She suggested that I show it to my english teacher, I didn't see the point.
A friend of mine is on this site and I decided that I would try it out. I can't promise that I'll keep up with it, but it's a start. I spend most of my time working, or socializing with a handful of carefully chosen friends. I guess I just realized that I haven't written a lot of new stuff, because I no longer open myself up to the kind of emotion that it is derived from. Maybe someday I'll get over this writers block, maybe not. Maybe what I needed to write is written.
