about me

"around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. we keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” - walt disney

"if you think you can, you can. if you think you can't...you're right."
i'm an artist. paper is my canvas. the pen is my brush. the arts is who i am...well, the most part anyway. =)

hey people! could you guys read darius young: scattered secrets for me? it's a rough draft. thanks in advance and please comment. anyway, hope you're having a great day! and if you comment i will usually reply thanking you. i like to do this to let you know i appreciate the comment. =)

my name is of unimportance at the moment. you will know my name when i am a published writer (god willing). so just wait a little (or a lot) longer to know my name. for the record, i don't give my name out online.

first off, i'm a girl from a small town that loves to write. i've always been a reader and as of last year i really got into actually writing short stories and books, but i've always been writing. i'm a perfectionist which could ultimately be my downfall, but it's working for me right now. i'm random and a little crazy, but what writer isn't. my friends get a kick out of me because i'm so different. i have my own mind, i'm not afraid to speak my mind, and often stick my foot in my mouth when i just blurt out things that come to mind. i'm a clutz and total dork, but i surprise people when i put my thoughts on paper. i'm a straight "a" student. i'm a christian and a believer; and i'm proud of it. i'm an artist; i can sketch and shade, but i prefer manga. it's so much fun to draw (by the way, my avatar is not my own work). i also love anime. my favorite anime show is nabari no ou. i also love to act and am very dramatic and expressive. er, i love music especially christian rock.

why do i write? i write mostly for myself. thoughts run through my head and i have to get them down on paper. i love the thrill that runs through me when i write. because i rarely know what i'm going to write next. writing is apart of me. no, it's who i am. it's how i express myself, it's how i communicate. it's the only thing in this world that makes sense. the only thing that will always stay the same. if i didn't write i would feel weird inside. i write because i want to. i write because i have to. it doesn't matter what others say because i don't care. writing makes me happy.

i'm looking for the right words to say, to write. but all they are, are just a jumbled mess of randomized words floating throughout my mind. and yet i try to form them into sentences that shall flow from my mind to my fingertips. only then shall i be pleased with my work. only then will the blank page have meaning. ~ siren

and that's basically me. as for my reason for being here is to see how i can improve my writing (duh!). so i will take good, hard, and constructive criticism. don't be afraid to let me know or i will never improve. so if you read all the way down to this then you know what i want out of this website because it says so in this paragraph. and...that's about it. and this was a whole lot longer than i thought. oh well! if you got all the way down here than you must be bored enough to have read this...or just curious...i'm going to stop typing now...

reading list:
burn (temporary title) - trtoapg
breaking the pieces, web of deceit - bookbuyer
her scarlet diamond - kowari numbat

reread list:
elementura - jrvsmith

rule of thumb: i don't pick just anyone's book. it has to show that something special. if i like it it will go on my watch list. i don't read things with explicit vulgarity. i'm slow to getting to your book/story/poem, but i give a meaningful comment. um, i usually read about 1-2 books/stories/poems a week. so be patient. and that's about it.

did i miss anything? let me know if i did. =)

A Dream

by Siren

Poem

Her lonliness is justified when he disappears from her dreams.

She dreams of him and imagines him real knowing that she isn't alone. When she wakes up the realization of being alone hits her sending her into tears.

Peace, Love, & Chicken Wings

by Siren

Poem

It's a poem about Peace, Love, and, what do you know, Chicken Wings

The poem explains what Peace Love and Chicken Wings are in the form of a name poem. It's three poems in one. Enjoy =)

Author's Note: Hi! If any of you people out there are wondering WHY I wrote this then here's the reason (I don't think anyone is wondering why). I had about half an hour to waste and I was thinking about Peace, Love, and Chicken Wings (please don't ask) and I started writing. Simple as that. Anyway...Enjoy!

Poisoned

by Siren

Poem

How can the youth be our greatest resource when we are poisoned?

Children are innocent and don't know of fear, pain, and other things invited by man. But when man exposes these things to us, we are stripped of it. We are stripped of our innocence. They drain us of it like a leech until they are satisfied. They are satisfied when they finish poisoning us. This poem symbolizes how worldly things and man strips us of our childhood innocence. And how we may never get it back. Because the only way for us to be cured is to leave this world and return home. Home, up in heaven.
