I'm an 18 year old girl in Rural America. I write to stay sane. Sometimes my poetry blows people away, sometimes it's just me venting. I've been writing since I was really young. Literature has been a safe haven for me.I have daddy issues. I have never smoked. I hate parties. I love reading. Words are my one escape from reality.I bear my soul on here, this is the one place I can be completely honest. This is my safe haven. I leave for college this fall. I have no idea which college.... but I leave for college in the fall. Ask me anything. add my fb https://www.facebook.com/margaret.howson my twitter @marghowson
Chilly shadows
And shocking sunlight accompany me
As I venture into the depths,
The abyss,
Of the foreign forest.
Here I lie,
In the brilliant, raw bitterness
Of that eternal beyond.
I am not a Reindeer,
Or some other native creature.
I am not accustomed to this habitat.
I am an alien.
An outsider.
I am not a resident.
I am an immigrant.
I merely exist in this Tundra.
A breathing tourist to this arctic forest.
