Introduction

So here's the deal:

I recently discovered an old box full of poems, most of which were written during my teens years.  I know, I know, I was the cliche teenage girl working out her angst and her love life through her poetry.  It's true, but I thought I had lost all these poems to the recycling bin, and to be honest, I barely remembered half of them when I read them the other day.  In an effort to avoid losing them, I've decided to type them up.  I figured since half the work will be done, why not just put them out there, and see what comes back?  Don't misunderstand me; I'm not so delusional as to believe that they're special to anyone but me (and my mom, haha). I've started writing again lately, so I'll include more recent poetry, too.  I'm not editing or revising the ones from when I was younger (at least not yet).  I think I started writing them in about 7th grade, so I'll start with those poems.  Here we go...
