I write because it just feels good to do so. It's my way of releasing the pain of my childhood. I am in therapy trying to recover from the abuse I suffered. It's been a long difficult road. I am hoping that through sharing my writings, that maybe someone else will know that they aren't alone.
I am sure there may be errors in grammer or punctuation here and there, but that is not what my writing is about, really. It is a therapeutic outlet for me. Not about proper grammer, or anything.. I enter few contest, because I am not full of sunshine and roses, lol. I had a very hard and dark childhood..maybe as my past hurts heal, I will be able to write lighter more uplifting things. But for now, my poetry is what it is, you can take it or leave it. It doesn't hurt my feelings either way.
The past few weeks have been especially difficult. I am tired and feeling very alone. My therapist has been wanting me to go inpatient for my eating disorder. Not something I really want to do. But then, maybe I am not strong enough right now, to make those kind of choices by myself. Sometimes, hanging on to hope, seems so hard.
The greatest of all gifts, is love and acceptance.
IF you promote your poetry in the shameless section, or ask for responses, do not get all pissy if you don't like the comment left. I seldom ever leave comments unless they are positive, unless you are shamelessly promoting. Then I leave what I feel is appropriate. dont IM me or anything else all pissy because you dont like what I wrote.

amanda vampiress on July 1hello barelybreathing,
I wanted to thank you for the comment you left on my poem confessions. I also read your introduction on your page, and just wanted to let you know that i understand where your coming from, and to wish you good luck with recovering from your past, and if you need someone to talk to, you can talk to me. I don't judge, and yes i may be a little young, but it wouldnt cause any damage to do so. *shrugs* just a offer.
Also, I really like your style of writting. It holds such a degree of emotion and uniquness.
