My name is Crystal. I like writing little one-shots, mostly based on real things that have happened to me. What can I say, I've got the whole "shy, depressed writer" stereotype down pat. Haha, not really. I'm actually quite optimistic most of the time. I just find that depressing topics make for more dramatic and creative story ideas. I write to vent, basically.

A really messed up poem that I don't totally agree with, about a girl who's trapped in her own head. You can probably figure out what's going on. I hope you like it; it's kinda cool.
