22 year old female, I have been writing poetry since the 6th grade. What started as a minor means of self expression to let out some teenage angst has developed into a full blown love and hobby. Went to college to be an english major and am now paying off large student loans while working for a bank (who would've thought?) Big fan of Def Jam Poetry and artistic expression through writing and music.

"As for me I'm watercolor, I wash off." - Anne Sexton
"Forget your personal tragedy. We are all bitched from the start and you especially have to be hurt like hell before you can write seriously. But when you get the damned hurt, use it-don't cheat with it." — Ernest Hemingway
