Baldwin• Show poetry

Haha, describe yourself...

er,
you see - if i could do that, i wouldn't be here.
If i could use language to paint you a picture of "me" -
of my life
of my experiences
of my hopes, fears, loves, lost ...
- well then i would be content.

I percieve things through words. Nothing special really. But its like ... some people see colours as words, i see them as sounds - trips on the tongue - something to be said, voiced and then linked in a seamless ream of synonyms, antonyms and metaphors.

Right now you're probably thinking "nob" xD and to be honest, so am i - as i'm typing this i'm digesting just how arsey those two paragraphs sound. But they are me at least the serious, poetic side of me.

Expression makes up a large part of who i am; i play piano to grade 8 and of course i write poetry here and without that expression i think i would explode ... i think too much >< it's screwed up a few things for me, but i'm learning - i hope to one day understand myself, but thats a long way away i think, perhaps eternity, who knows.

Honesty also The truth matters to me. A lot. So much in fact i am always tempted to be honest for the sheer sake of it; the ambiguity of social situations are withering, tedious and altogether confusing, if everyone could just say what they MEAN the world would be a much simpler place! But i digress .

I am 17, I take English lit, Chemistry and Maths to A2 and i guess i have fun there amidst the teenage angst insecurities and other crap ( i hate people who say they aren't insecure, we all are, just some come to terms with it and some don't). University soon, thats going to be a blast

To be frank, I'm not that interesting and if you're still reading this, i bet you've only got this far because:
a) you're bored (really really bored)
your extreme dislike has pinned you to the page or ...
c) you're crazy, i like you, and you should throw me a message

So thank you for reading, whichever letter you fall under and if you like you can have a look at some words that i typed on a page. They say something about me, each one, and if you're interested in this amateur painting "me" then i wish for any interpretation you find. Because i'm with you, i'm still trying to work out where the watercolours blend
and also where they end.
