my first post

My name is Liz, first off... I'm from Madrid, Iowa but I live in the Netherlands right now, in a city neighboring Amsterdam. I'm 18 years old, graduated from high school and studying "Teaching English as a foreign language" for one year and then transferring to a psychology major. I would really like to do something along the lines of creative therapy, like using art and crafts to express and deal with emotions.
I'll start out by posting some of my poetry because for a long time, poetry was my niche.
Sleep
The soft calling
Sleep emitts
I feel myself falling
Through a thoughtful mist
Warmth is spilling
In puddles of dreams
My veins are filling
With oceans of sleep
Coldness
The coldness in your heart drips onto my skin
In the formation of raindrops
Your eyes give traces of where you have been
I shiver and brace myself
The mist around us has always been beneath
Treading the paths obsolete
My bones crack and chatter like icey teeth
I run from your silhouette
You speak ageless wisdom from an oasis
Not bothering to hear yourself
I don't believe in such enchanted places
But fragile and icy,
I weep the coldness of your heart
From within
Sand
You see nothing of me
One, another, breathing body
Trusting simply
Fallen off the path
For one more hand to hold
But the first to hold you back
The only way they fit the theme, I'm afraid, is that I wrote them at a very young age. They reflect the feelings of that time period nicely, I think... Sometimes I think I was a better poet then than now. ;)
Anyway, I'm pretty excited about this community and I'm looking forward to see everyone's art!
