Favorite Quote:
And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. ~Sylvia Plath

All I draw are flowers,
All day long,
On my labels and on my name tags,
My books are never blank.
So many petals,
On such high stalks,
They even grow on my skin,
If you take away my flower,
I'll be gone,
Gone, gone...
What could be left,
But winter, cold, and white,
And empty,
Blanketing my pages.

The author's comments:
This is something every teenager goes through, that worries them, that plagues them. Sex is something do prominent in media and society, that the impacts are great, especially on the newer generations. This is the expectations and fears from a younger viewpoint.
