My Name is Danielle I'm 14 years old and I live in California... okay I guess you could say that was my basic bio. I come from a huge family and I live with my dad who I pretty much hate. My mom is barely getting by and I would still rather live with her. One of my sisters had a daughter when she was 16 so now it's me, my sister, and my niece all smushed into one room. I try to avoid my dad as much as possible, mostly because whenever I talk to him I usually end up in tears. I don't know why but when he yells at me something inside me breaks down and no matter how hard I try I just start crying, feeling like I'll never be good enough because when I try he still yells at me. I have some really great friends.. but to me they always seem so fake. I can't talk to them about stuff because they make tradgety into a joke. They do horrible things to themselves and try to make it funny. Sometimes everything in my life makes me just want to scream.. and I do.. because I am the quiet person, the one who never goes off on people, but who "takes shit up the ass". If I can't vent then I do the next best thing... scream my lungs out. I guess you can say other then my horrible life I'm pretty average. I'm in the "smart" classes and I'm doing okay but sometimes I stop trying and my grades go down, I love to play soccer, It's just something I've always done and that I can't image my life without, also I love to listen to music especially a lot of different types. When it comes to poetry I guess I never really think about writing I'll just be in a certain state of mood where I'll be venting(to myself) and everything will just click.. all the emotions I'm having just fit together and the poem is there... and it helps fix how I'm feeling. It distracts me from all the bad things and makes me think wow I actually wrote something. I only show certain people my poems... like I show people who I don't know in real life because you know if they don't like it so what I'm never gonna see you again so no point... but if someone I really trust were to tell me they didn't like it I would just be more heart broken... plus like a lot of people I have fake friends so them I don't show but I've been starting to show my poems a lot more trying to see what people think about them... so if you had enough patience to read my bio please please tell me what you think about my writing because I want to know if I'm good or if this should just be my way to vent.
