You can guess what my name is right.I'm 17 and a Londoner,I write poetry because sometimes I get the urge to pick up a pen,after that the pen does the rest and people seem to like what comes out so that encourages me as well.I read every comment and appreciate them all,allot of the time their a reason for writing.To aspiring poets-believe in your own ability,I still remember looking at the AOL teen poetry board wishing I could write something that wouldn't be laughed at,and I think I pulled that off now,so whatever you want to do just put your energies into it and chances are it will happen. My biggest influence has to be Tupac Amaru Shakur,The Rose that grew from concrete,definatly one of the best ever poets,he was never supposed to make a difference but he did and his message is still relevant for us today.Whatever talent I have I'm thankful to God for giving me.Hope you like what you see,the little stars indicate my favourite poems and the numbers just let me know if I've had a new comment my msn is [email protected] -feel free to message me or www.myspace.com/jay_jay.w_999,feel free to add me,love p.s I'm still here on this site forever,right now im focusing on a music angle though,my stuff wouldnt realy suit this site,but course i'll still drop some poems along the way
