Have you ever written a poem?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I’ve been writing poems since I was 6 years old, almost nonstop. I am sort of a stoic individual, and poetry has always been an outlet for me… a way to say what I won’t or can’t otherwise say to other people, or just in general. It also helps me to document, catalog, and move on from events in my life. If you are interested, you can read my favorite poem I’ve ever written here in my profile.
