Welcome to my profile.

A little bit about me:

Name: Silver Phoenix Falling

Birthday: 4/13

Likes: Reading, writing, playing with computers, working, learning, teaching myself

Dislikes: Politicians, idiocy, injustice, intolerance

Other (somewhat) pertinent information about myself:

I am a perfectionist in everything I do, and it'll kill me someday, but I don't care because I like it. I'm always striving to perfect myself and my writing.

I love learning, and I love teaching myself. Unless I'm really burned out, I'll spend my (very limited) free time teaching
myself something new, for example, another language.

Like many writers, I am an introvert. I prefer to be alone usually, enjoying the company of my own mind and my computer to that of other people.

Please read and review my works! I very much enjoy feedback, whether good or bad, and I like having an outside opinion; it helps me immensely in my quest for improving my writing.

To close, I leave you with a quote by a close friend:

"I'm addicted and I'm drowning, and I love it and please don't save me."

--Ambariel

Thank you for taking the time to read this and my works!

This poem tells the story of someone who is trying to run away from something. When I wrote this poem, I was thinking about death, but it could really apply to any force. Constructive criticism is always appreciated.

I'm kind of proud of this poem. It's the first poem with a real story behind it that I've written in a long time. In a nutshell, this poem deals with a girl's inner demons. I wrote it to work on symbolism; if you can find some, I'll know I've done my job
