"I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of beauty." -Edgar Allen Poe

A little about myself:

First Name:Davida

Gender: Female

Age: 20

Hair: Dark Brown, a little past my shoulders, wavy/curly

Eyes: Dark green

Height:5' 8 1/2"

Hobbies: A few include listening/playing music, reading, and writing (of course).

Favorite Bands: There are too many good bands out there to have only one or two favorites, but a few that I love are Evanescence, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace and Secondhand Serenade.

About My Writing: I feel obligated to post this warning for all who may not be familiar with my writing but are contemplating reading any of my poems: My writing is a bit morbid, dark, depressing, (anywhere along those lines) and it may not always make too much sense. Therefore, if that's not your kind of thing, it might be a good idea not to read it. You have been warned. Some of what I write is taken straight from my experiences in life and some are pure fiction. Some, even, are a mix of both. Therefore, you are welcome to use your imagination and derive your own meaning from them if you'd like.

Also, I really love feedback (what writer doesn't, right?). I'm always looking for ways to improve in my writing and I love hearing what other people think of my poems. So, reviews are very much appreciated. If you take the time to review any of my poems, I will try my best to do the same for you. I am a college student, however, and anyone who attends college can appreciate the fact that it's not always possible to return the favor right away. So, I apologize in advance for that, and I promise to try my best. With that said, feel free to take a peek at some of my work. Hope you enjoy!

"Slow down, the world isn't watching us break down
It's safe to say we are alone now, we're alone now
Not a whisper, the only noise is the receiver
I'm counting the seconds until you break the silence
So please just break the silence

The whispers turn to shouting
The shouting turns to tears
Your tears turn into laughter
And it takes away our fears

So you see, this world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off of you

And I'm longing, for words to describe how I'm feeling
I'm feeling inspired
My world just flip turned upside down
It turns around, say what's that sound
It's my heart beat, it's getting much louder
My heart beat, is stronger than ever
I'm feeling so alive, I'm feeling so alive

My whispers turn to shouting
The shouting turns to tears
Your tears turn into laughter
And it takes away our fears

So you see, this world doesn't matter to me
I'll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can't take my eyes off of you

I'm finally waking up, a twist in my story
It's time I open up, and let your love right through me
I'm finally waking up, a twist in my story
It's time I open up, and let your love right through me
That's what you get
When you see your life in someone else's eyes
That's what you get, that's what you get..."
