Poem: Obsession.

About This Poem: 
This poem is about someone who is always fighting be be noticed. Noticed by who? Noticed by her peers. She is obsessed with trying to fit in and stand out. She wants the boy to notice her, the popular girls to notice her. She spends all her time focused on how to make herself noticeable. She doesn't care that this constant worry is hurting her physically, mentally and emotionally. I wrote this poem because I think in today's world a lot of young girls and boys can relate to this, especially in high school. We worry about being cool and fitting in so we might change ourselves, how we act, what we wear and the decisions we make. All to please people who really don't care about us, our wellbeing and appreciate us and our worth. Thats why in the end of the poem it simply states that one day you will come to regret obsessing over what other people think of you. That you should go out and live your life how you want to. Be who you want to! Don't spend your days trying to please the people who never noticed your worth. Don't work so hard for those people because they would never do the same for you. In the end you should never do something that is not making yourself feel good and prevents you from being you and achieving all you can do. Be you and middle fingers to the haters.

Poem: Hi, I'm Society.

Background:  This poem is what started everything off for me. My senior year of high school I was approached by my creative writing teacher asking me to produce a piece of writing to be entered into a contest. This writing could have been a long or short story any type of poem. To be honest I wasn't to fond of the idea. I knew I was a good writer but for a contest? I told her I would think about it. I went home that night and watched some poem readings on YouTube to get some inspiration. Once I felt inspired I started typing. I hammered this poem out in a matter of 10 minutes. I was very proud of this piece for I think it relates to a lot of young people. I read it to my mom and she loved it, she said it was very powerful and true. I ended up submitting this to my teacher, and she along with other english teachers loved my piece. My piece along with some others in my class had got chosen to be published into the All Conference Writers Magazine. We also got to go to a reading a

Tattoos.

This was my first tattoo ever! I got it done at Timeless Tattoos in Appleton WI. in the mall. This place did such an amazing job! My tattoo artist was able to draw this up in one try I was very impressed! I also loved this place because they accept walk ins. Defiantly would recommend this place. Once I turned 18 I was determined to get a tattoo. My mom also got one with me which I was kind enough to pay for her. I was super nervous but at the same time I knew I could do it because I have a very high pain tolerance. I also thought for my first tattoo why not go big! GO BIG OR GO HOME! I did not think having this done hurt at all. I was very relaxed the whole time! My dad was not to happy about it because he thought it was too big and I would never score a job as a teacher. But in todays world who doesn't have tattoos! We learn how to work around them. They are quite easy to cover up with make-up or long sleeves. He got over it and thinks its a very nice tattoo! This tattoo is a
