I am a 17 year old little lady living in the back end of beyond in Wales...and I pretty much hate it. Yes it's beautiful; yes I look and around and am inspired by the sea, the beaches, the endless fields; yes I have a wondeful family and amazing friends whom I love dearly...but...I feel so utterly trapped. I am stuck in a routine that I have no choice but to follow, I have to be a certain person, act a certian way, be who everyone expects me to be. I am counting down the days until I get to go away and do an english degree and turn from this cocooned caterpillar into a butterfly I can't wait! I love poetry...reading, writing, experiencing..the whole caboodle. I'd greatly appreciate some comments to help me to improve, although I have to be honest and say that some poems are too personal to me to be changed or messed with, so sorry if I seem to be ignoring your criticisms! My main other passion is music. I have been singing in choirs since I was six and am now in countless musical societies; singing, playing clarinet, piano, anything I can get my hands on really. I compose loads of music and find it a real release, kinda like poetry. Despite my earlier grumblings, I'm actually a perdy darn happy person and I am also deeply spiritual, which I find really helps to encourage and support me. I love helping people and am going to travel the world doing charity work as soon as I can. I'd love ot make some new friends, so if any of you feel that I'm the kind of person you could grow to love then please feel free to send me an email..it would make my day!
