My poem expresses how I feel as an artist who is able to share how they feel and connect with others through writing.

My first poem I wrote for a school project in which we were given specific words to write a poem with. It was really fun to put together my different words, and I ended up writing "Tea Party," which criticizes aspects of materialism.

I wrote this piece when I was angry about a person in my life. I struggle to let them go even though I know they will hurt me in the long run. The main character's anger is my anger and when she lets go it's my hopes for the future.

My art is usually written down in the spur of the moment, random ideas just pop in my head and I'll rush them so they don't disappear.

When a Boy Loves a Woman is a fun and comedic story about a troublesome elementary school kid being in love with his child-hating high school babysitter. I wrote this piece with one of my classmates for a screenwriting competition in my creative writing class.

Red-Eye, Red Eyes is a microfiction piece that tells the story of two runaway siblings trying to find a better life. I wrote it earlier this year as part of the creative writing program at my school, and it was one of the runner-ups in our annual microfiction competition.

I started writing with inspiration from the old, western saloon setting. I wanted to build off of that western world idea, but make it unique in some way while still fitting within the 500 word restriction. I decided to take that saloon setting and apply it to our area, specifically San Francisco around the Gold Rush.
