Oh my God. People are reblogging a poem I wrote and posted when I was 15 years old lol.
#i have no idea how they found it#i saw someone liked it a few days ago and i was like. well weird but whatever#im not offended it's just a few extra notes#i keep my poetry blog at this point bc it's a helpful archive for me to look back on a body of my work#heaven knows i don't really need the attention#and if i did... well id just be shit outta luck wouldn't i#tales from diana#it's a free verse i wrote and posted in january 2015. i was a sophomore in high school!#im just happy it was one of my 'i have undiagnosed mental illness' poems and not 'im hopelessly in love w that senior boy' ones#those were my 2 themes back then. at least that i knew how to write sincerely#it's not that that was ALL i had for range. but it was all i really cared about lol.#how detached i feel now from that shy baby poetess. strange!#i read those poems and i remember writing them very well but they don't feel like me.#now im at the age where im more mature and my sense of self is more stabilized#and ive written literally thousands of poems so very often the act of writing one does not feel significant to me.#i look through my notebooks from my 20s and im like 'i don't remember writing this but thats definitely me'#strange. never be an artist
