Poetry Forum

Hi, my name's Leah.

So I joined this thing today because I stumbled across a Poetry Soup page.

I'm a Sophomore In high school and have been writing poetry for as long as I can remember. By the age of eight I decided I was going to be the next teen pop star. Taylor swift was my idol. Unfortunately, I soon found out I was absolutely horrible at singing. I mean, horrible. So I started writing songs. I became increasingly frustrated when I realized I couldn't even sing the songs I wrote so I began simply reading them aloud. Songs turned to poems and here I am today.




I'm not amazing at writing poetry but it brings me great happiness, which is equally important...right? Anyway, I'm pretty much the average Teenager. I play soccer, run track, am the President of my Grade, along with other attributes of the modern High schooler in the United States. I'm half afghan, a quarter Moroccan, and a quarter Salvadorian. Technically, the definition of diverse. I live with my mother and aunt in a small home in a city not far from Washington D.C. My father is no longer in our lives due to his neglect and abuse of my mother and I Yes, sad, but it definitely helps inspire my poetry.




I'm new to the site and have no idea how this thing really works but it seems pretty cool. I can't wait to read other people's poetry
