Hello everyone! My name is Erica, I’m a young teen who loves poetry with all her heart. I’m thrilled to share my poems with you, and I hope they are a place of sanctuary for you like they are for me. Life is a crazy thing, and it has thrown more at me than you may think. But in the end, we’re all just people, we’re all just trying to figure out this crazy thing of life. Through my poetry I hope we can all get through this together and stand strong no matter how hard it seems. So welcome to my poetry, welcome to my world. I hope you enjoy my story.
