My poetry usually describes how I feel, and what is going on in my life. It is usually direct and straight to the point, but sometimes there may be a hidden meaning. I have a range of free verse and rhyming poetry. I write poetry to express feelings which are usually playing on my mind a lot. It helps me to let go of them if i write them down and try to turn them into a positive.
Anyone taking the time to read right through the extensive back catalogue will probably notice that back in 2003/2004 i wrote a lot of poetry. Blame it on teen angst. Now i'm 21 i think, although my poetry is less frequent, it probably has more maturity and meaning.

I have won 2 Blue Peter badges for my poetry, and a 22ct gold medal, which is my most treasured, and the most prestigious reward i have earned for being a poet.

Here's some quotes of just a few of the bands who's lyrics I enjoy:

"Who said that I wasn't right?
I've lived for years without a life.
Don't have a soul on my side,
Still ridiculed despite how hard that I have tried.
Don't take me under your wing,
I don't need a hand, don't need anything.
I've got a roof over my head,
As if I'd rather be alone with me instead.
Close yet far,
Drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are.
And I'll tip my hat to those who can't believe it's me,
Though I never never ever really wanted this to be"
Extract from "CKY - Close Yet Far"

"It's okay to be angry and never let go
It only gets harder the more that you know.
When you get lonely if no one's around
You know that I'll catch you when you're falling down.
We came together but you left alone,
And I know how it feels to walk out on your own.
Maybe someday I will see you again,
And you'll look me in my eyes and call me your friend"
