Hello! Welcome to my profile. My name is Kendal, I am 19 and I'm a writer and a poet, an artist, a musician, and a dancer. Writing is an important part of my expression. I used to write stories but the story I was working on for over a year is now lost on a flashdrive that went missing almost 2 years ago. Since then I've been writing a lot more poetry and creative fictional stories. Please read some of my poetry and review because I would really like to publish a poetry book sometime in the near future.

For people who actually look at my profile (which is most likely no one), I am having a really rough time right now. My parents got divorced this past summer 2012 and I went through a really emotional and somewhat abusive relationship with someone that I thought was my friend and turned out to be a real psychopathic jerk. I have been trying so hard to get past everything that has appeared in my life but it has been really hard. A lot of my poetry reflects how I have been feeling and trying to deal and it has also been trying to mask everything and put it into a small little box. I love who I am... I just dont make the best decisions. I am hoping that this year I can make better decisions regarding guys and also try to be a better person all around.

I am not someone that is outgoing and friendly, but I care and I am incredibly empathetic to my friends and even people that I dont know. I blend in with the world because being the center of attention makes me nervous. I like to be anonymous but I try to be different. One of these days, people will like that about me and respect it rather than hate it and try to change it. I am a person. I do not need to change for someone because if I change, I will miss the person who will love me for me. Stay strong out there to all those who are anonymous and one day we will stand out.

Reviews help me a lot to know that there are people out there that read and have opinions about my writing. I really want to publish my poetry sometime but I would like criticism to know if that would be a good idea. I love everyone who posts on my stories and poems and lets me know that they care about what I have just written. If you have a personal connection, TELL ME. My poetry focuses on trying to elicit emotions from readers that they can relate to. I am also here if you need to talk about something that has happened to you or that you would wish to share. I care about everyone, just like everyone should.

Quick note, for most of my poems that I've published recently: the summary is an excerpt from the poem and doesn't necessarily summarize the poem :)

Read and Review and I'll try to return the favor.

"Love is love, it don't mean a thing. I am spread so thin- I need something to believe in"

"One day you'll get sick of saying everything's alright"

"I get by in a world with no conscious by shutting it out and being anonymous"
