When I started writing poetry
When I started
writing poetry I
was fourteen years old
I never kept them.
When I started
writing poetry I
did not write
about thing about me.
When I started
writing poetry I
did not try
to make them work.
When I started
writing poetry but
now I write
about is about
me and the
things around me.
When I started
writing poetry I
did not want
the world to
see it.
Now the world
sees all of
my poetry.
When I started
writing poetry eight
years ago and
here it is
now I am
writing true poetry.
When I started
poetry I never
thought my poetry
would be published
one day.
