About the Poem

I am a girl with many talents, or so I am told. But I feel all alone in this world. I long for a man who will love me and a clean piece of paper. I have so many emotions bottled up inside myself and the only way I can get them out is to write. It keeps me sane. This poem is about me and my life. I feel like I'm drowning is an ocean and I am the best swimmer in the world. I am a poor girl who just wants to be happy.

Reflection

by Olivia

I am looking in a mirror,
but all I can see is me,
trying to be
what I want to be
instead of what I really am.

Although this poem is very short it is very well written, i love writing poetry as i feel the same as you, i love to read other teen poetry as thats where i get my inspiration from. When people hear the word poems or poetry straight away they think ryhming but i think feeling.
