Introduction
All of these were written between the ages of 11 and 17, my current age. The comments below each poem are the comments I posted when I first added these to my DeviantArt account. These are in no way based upon Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon; most were written before I got into the fandom. The 'Connections' I write are just something I decided to do to tie them into the Moon Fandom, which I've become so enchanted with.
If there isn't any date or grade specified, it's most likely from middle school, grades 7-9, ages 12-14. I was diagnosed with clinical depression in the spring of 2006, grade 9, so I was 14. Some of the things written are kind of dark, or seem odd for a 12 year old to write, but I've had depression my entire life even though I wasn't aware, and it came through in my writing. But don't worry, I've been receiving treatment for three years now and I'm all better.
I did not change one single aspect of my poems. The horrid grammar I used in grade seven is still present and I cringe when I read it. You may ask why I don't just add a few letters to let the prose make sense, but that would be defeating the whole damned purpose. My reason for uploading these poems here when they are already on DeviantArt are to show fellow Moonies, who I can relate to through that common interest, how I've grown as a writer (hopefully) and give you just a little sneak peek into my personal life.
Of course I'd like Reviews, even though these poems aren't growing at the rate of a Fiction, they're still very close to my heart (more than MW or MLS, by far) and I really care about what you guys think of them. And I see all of you who set Alerts or Favourites, or simply view my stories but don't leave one Review … that's an Author's pet peeve, I hope you know.
With that cleared up, on with the show !!
