Somebody-New• Show poetry

Hey everyone,
Welcome to my page.
I have been on this site for a long time now, and since first joining I know I have changed a lot. My writing, both in content and in depth will show that. I know that I have changed a lot over the last few years, a whole lot. Those of you who know me will know that, those of you who don’t, I’m sure it shows in what I write.
For about nine months, I stopped writing completely; I don’t think I even visited this site during that time. But, as the story goes, it was during that time that everything major in my life seemed to happen. I’ve gone from being this little girl who didn’t know anything, to being someone who is kinda growing up and knows, well, not a lot, but more than what she did. I could tell the whole long big spiel of what has happened to me in the past year, but for some it will be a boring story that you don’t want to know, and for others, it may be something of interest in, which case, you can feel free to ask me about it anytime.
But, as of now, I am Ebonie-Kate. Someone new, someone different from who I used to be, but someone who I have finally grown accustomed to even grown to like and accept. I had considered starting a new page under a new name with all my new and shiny work, but I decided there was far too much here to let go of. And really, I don’t want to let go of any of it because all of it has helped me develop into who I am today. That person, me, is not so different from who I used to be. I haven’t done a complete turn around, I’m still the same person, so to speak, I’ve just been through a lot more and have learnt to see things different. I have also grown into someone I can accept and like, and it’s because of my experiences, and above all the amazing people in my life that I have been able to do this.

My new poetry, and consequently my new self begins from the poem

‘Light of a New Day’ http://allpoetry.com/poem/3953523 which really sums up the whole ‘new me’ concept, as well as all the people in my life whom I love and adore dearly, and who have helped me through so much in this past year. I’m not really one for spilling my heart and soul out to a random web page (even though this site has begun to feel like home for me), so I shall stop there, and just hope that everyone out there sees that it is still me, but also sees that I am someone new. Other than that, I shall go on with a little bit about me:

I am an Aussie girl who loves music and loves writing.

Music is my life, I am quite certain if I didn’t have it I would cease to exist. I write music, I listen to music every day, and everything in my life can relate to some song somewhere. I play bass guitar and I also sing, as well as doing some kind of random dancing on a daily basis (mainly in my kitchen away from the publics eye…). I like to think I am diverse in my music tastes as I will listen to, and quite often enjoy, every type of music I hear. I have a long list of favourites (that I wont mention for fear of taking up lots of pages) which will probably highlight that diversity quite well, spanning from metal to rock, to jazz and the old classics (leader of the pack anyone?) and yes, sigh, I will admit it….country music. Like I said, I love everything and I love talking about music, so if you wanna, go right ahead!

My second passion in life is my writing. I have always been a writer from as long as I can remember and it’s something I want to take into my adult years and hopefully improve on. I used to only write stories, being one of those people who hoped to write a huge selling trilogy one day, and who absolutely despised poetry. Introducing the ‘teen angst years’, I began to write poetry, much to my own disgust, and yes, it was all dark and emo rubbish (with the occasional love tribute thrown in there), but it was from those dark and unmentionable days that my passion and appreciation of poetry (the good stuff, not just my own) started. Now, I write it constantly and I love it; John Donne being probably my favourite poet of all time. From there, I also began writing my own lyrics and songs which I also enjoy, as well as sticking with my novel writing and editing works my friends have done!

When I ‘grow up’ (if that ever actually happens) I want to study psychological science, theology, and literature and become a teacher. I am a total nerd, if I haven’t already made that painfully obvious, and I want to make my nerdiness my career one day. Hence the writing and lit teaching! Having said that, I think its kinda obvious to say that I love reading and books. (And stationery…don’t judge me!). I like all genres’ although I am not as well-read as I would like to be, so if anyone wants to chat about books and recommend things (same goes with music) I am the girl to talk to!

I love my family (yes, all six brothers and sisters and eleven nieces and nephews, etc) and all my friends with all my heart. All the words in the world could not describe what they have done for me, how they have helped me, and how much I love them, although I swear for the rest of my life I will try and show them how much they mean to me. I come from a big family, and we have our problems, but I do love them all. Right now I would like to give a shout out to mum and daddy for always being there and encouraging me!

I have been told I am an ‘old soul’, wise and mature for my age. Of course, I fail to see this. But, I will always be there for someone when they need it. I know how much it sucks to feel like no one is ever there for you and I wouldn’t want anyone else to ever have to go through that. I guess that’s why I am the ‘go-to, mum girl’ of my friendship group because I’m always the one people talk to and always the one telling my boys what to do.

I think that is all there is to tell at the moment, I could go on but I don't want to bore you lovely people! so I shall leave it there. Thank you for taking the time to read this, if you wanna chat about anything anytime my msn addy is;
Ebonie_kate@hotmail.com

Thanks for reading!

||| There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go |||

||| Ask me why I keep on loving you when it's clear that you don't feel the same way for me... the problem is that as much as I can't force you to love me, I can't force myself to stop loving you |||


||| I never knew how badly it could hurt to lose something you never had |||

Other than that, there is not much to tell
