Poems from Awkward Turtle

Awkward Turtle's picture
I'm currently a Freshmen in College and am pursuing Musical Therapy as my long term goal in Life. I battled Depression through my Sophomore Year into the end of my Junior year of High School, and finally overcame it and am living my life discovering new ways to battle my Anxiety in positive ways and learning new ways to Love Myself for who I am. I have Chromo Synesthesia, meaning I associate colors to Music, Letters, and Numbers. The world around me is so Different from the way everybody else experiences it, and I never started writing Poetry until this past May, when I discovered it being a new Outlet for my Anxiety. I'm hoping if all else fails in my Life, these first hand experienced emotions and stories I tell in my poetry will impact someone's life and give them Hope for the Brighter Future they have ahead in their Life.
