I'm a shy college student and I write poetry; most of it religious, but that has been slowly changing recently. That doesn't mean that I won't write it anymore, though. It just means I've been thinking about other things. If you don't agree I would ask you to be respectful to me regardless. I will do the same for you.

I try to be uplifting with most of what I write. I hope I succeed with most people at least.

My inspirations so far have been Christian musicians. Specifically Bethany Dillon, Stephen Curtis Chapman, Trading Yesterday, and Jeremy Camp. The list will keep growing, I'm sure, as I discover more.

My other inspiration is a girl that I care very much about. Whether she knows it or not, I don't know, but I hope she does. I'm not vocally gifted, so I have a hard telling her how I feel, but it'll probably become very obvious very quickly I you read my poetry.
