Writer’s block was a curse/Until I found verse

I’m a teenage girl who sees a whole lot that is wrong with the world and longs to right it.

I love the ocean, the waves speak to me and the creatures in them fascinate me to no end.  I also love cats, they have an aura that dogs could never hope to have.

I believe that as humans we CAN coexist in spite of our differences.  We just have to be willing to realize that our way is not the only one.  I’m not religious, I believe that religion is a force that divides, and that too many people involved in a religion are not willing to respect other religions.

I am an American, and I am proud to be one most days.  I often get very frustrated with my country’s superiority complex and how little we respect other cultures and ways of life.  We are a melting pot unwilling to change the temperature.

Poetry is the most raw expression of opinions, emotions, and ideas.  I guess you could call it an element, and all other forms of writing are minerals.  Some of my poems are about issues I see in this crazy world of ours, others are about nature, and a few are about personal issues I’m dealing with. Enjoy and tell me what you like, but most importantly, tell me what you don’t.  Your opinion means the world.

Sincerely,

I pronounce Andrea as /ahn-dree-uh, people have butchered it on many occasions :))

 

I am the catcher of stars

The dreamer of dreams

The wandering soul

Who is not quite what she seems

I desire to be

The righter of wrongs

The one who for peace

Tirelessly longs

Everyone I see

Is equal to me

I hate prejudice the most

The bastard has made

Humanity its host

Nature is my friend

I will protect her

To my end

Knowledge is the key

With which I open up

The world around me

I’m the observer

The one who sees all

Don’t worry my friend

I will catch you if you fall

I long to escape

These chains locked by fate

I am a soul who longs to roam

This entire planet is my home

I’m a tad introspective

And occasionally lazy

For all intents and purposes

Call me AZ
