My name is Barbara and i am 15 years of age. I am still obviously in high school and one of my favorite things to do is write. Writing is a way I can express myself without actually having to put my problems out there directly. This is the main reason I especially love to write poetry. Most of my poems are thoughts, feelings, and even memories. Through them anyone can experience what I have been through and what I am going through. As I've told a few people, I feel that poetry is music from the soul. However, I do not only write poetry, but i enjoy writing short stories too! My goal for the future is to publish my poems and write a book.
