I am currently 17yrs old. I have lived in the same small town and on the southern ute indian rez all my life. I like to read and write poetry. I've been writing poetry for about 6 years now. I started writing in the 5th grade, I wrote my first poem about my grandfather who passed away. I didn't really start writing poems until about 8th grade when I was in junior high. Ever since then I have always enjoyed writing, I have written about everything that has been apart of my life, I write happy poems and alot of sad poems. Writing and letting my emotions out is like the first breathe of fresh air after a rain storm. I have over 300 poems right now. I hope to publish a book soon in my life.
