Dark Feather• Show poetry

Well, my name is Shawna, I have been living in canada for 2 years now, I have only been writting poetry for a short time, but have been writting songs since i was 12. I do not discriminate about anything, race, beliefs, sexuality and especially, age. I have been told by many people that my knwoledge is beyond my years, thats probrably why I hate age discrimination. I do not support people that sit down and write for no apparant reason, it shows no meaning, for me, writting is like a type of psycology, it helps me feel better when I am down.

         I have only recently become the person I am. I spent the summer alone after spending 6 months trying to be someone I wasn't, and I decided that it wasn't a way to live, I came to a few more realizations and wised up. I'm not like most people now, and that has caused a few problems, not a lot of people understand me, I don't have close friends to talk to so I sometimes feel alone, but thats when I write.

         I'm the only girl of 4 children. I have been in England for the past 4 weeks visiting friends and family, I've had the time of my life lol, my aunt seems to think I'll go back home with a drinking problem ....... Not True.

I try to live life without regrets, because i know that no matter how much of a stupid thing i do, no matter how much I want to regret it, I did it for a reason, as stupid that reasons may be, the past is the past and you cant change it, so whats the point in getting upset about it?

Why 'Dark Feather?'

In the dark she will always wait,
In the shadows forever alone,
Misunderstood and unoticed,
Like a feather in the wind,
Swirling in a mist of thoughts,
Confused,
No one to turn to,
No one to lean on,
Holding on to fading dreams,
Of lighter days and pleasing times,
No longer secure in her quiet room,
Lost of comfort in her singing tunes,
Family and friends all left behind,
Years ago in a far away land,
Only dreams left shining afar,
So in the dark she will always wait,
In the shadows alone.

Feather because it is already my name, my last name is Guerard, which in ojibwe means migwan, which translated means little feather.

I am hoping to become a gold member sometime in the start of september, I would have become sooner but I've had to save to go on holiday to england, I paid for it myself and saved spending money too, so I havnt really had much money, but I will pretty soon.
