Hello my name is Shelby. I am here to share my poetry and to meet new and interesting people.
I have been writing poetry for 4 years.
i am a member of the creative writing club at my high school, and next year i will be the almighty dictator...mwahahahaha.
call me emo or goth and i will hunt you down and kill you. just kidding. i don't like labels. i am a Shelby. lol
i am a very intense person when u first meet me, some don't know if its in a positive or negative way. it all depends on whether i like u or not.
In my club at school the new members have to hear one of my poems to well see if they are comfortable or not.
i really don't care if you don't like my stuff, but i will except criticism and compliments graciously.

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they ticked me off.

"Sure, they were all going to die, but they'd go out with their middle fingers upraised in the oldest salute known to the world."

"I am ready to meet my maker. Whether my maker is
prepared to meet me is another matter."

"Death is a mystery and burial is a secret."
"I'm here to kick ass, or chew bubble gum, and I'm all
outta bubble gum"


Remember man, as you walk by,
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, so shall you be.
Remember this and follow me.

To follow you I'll not consent
Until I know which way you went.

You're welcome to believe that the world is a nice, logical, rational, safe place... You'll be wrong, but that hasn't stopped anyone else who thinks the same way."


"Those who fear the darkness have no idea what the light can do"


"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster...when you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes back."
