I'm Back!

Well it seems I've been gone for so long, but now I'm back! You all should know that I'm still in school and that I really have to concentrate! But anyway, I had the chance to meet my favorite poet! His name is Matthew Hernandez. I really like him, and don't tell anyone, but I love his smile!!! (lol) But really, he is great and I also met his two friends who are also a part of his poetry group, Mr. Eric Williams and Mr. Juwayne Walton. I learned a lot from all of them, they showed me that I have a gift and I meen something now and forever! When I read my poetry aloud to the class, I finally was able to see how much pain I was really in, but it took me to read what I wrote to understand what I meant and felt!
These three men literetly changed my life! I've always turned to reading and writing poetry for comfort, now I turn to reading, writing, and listening to poetry. What I meen is that, I never knew my friends were also having trouble in life and it took a lot for us all to really get up there and tell our stories. My friends and I always smile and laugh around eachother to try and hide whats real, not knowing that every one of us were going through something terrible! It truly hurts to see my friends so hurt, not knowing that they were giving me signs the whole time and I didnt even help! It seems that the poetry I'm ucustomed to is the depressing poetry, but I tell my pain day to day, that its not over, I'm going to win this fight and meeting Mr. Hernandez made me realize that I can't give up! AND I WONT!!!
