I am currently a junior in high school and for the most part, my life has been uneventful. However, through my love of nature, history, and faded memories, I turned to poetry to express myself. In recent times, I have faced multiple personal tragedies that strangled the light out of my life. I hope that the practice of poetry, or art through the brush of words, not only serves to inspire me on my life's journey but also holds the potential to uplift others facing similar situations.
