Poems from August Forster
My name is august Forster. I am 16 years of age, and i live in Ruidoso, New Mexico. At the age of 13, I started writing short stories. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with an extreme case of depression. I self- harmed for over 2 years.During this time I fell in love with poetry.I started writing about my feelings and my thoughts, soon i put them into poems. I have written over 45 poems in the last 7 months. Poetry was a medicine that wasn't prescribed to me, and one of the only ones that worked.I put power into my poems, make them mean something,and they all connect to me.I feel like some of my poems could change the way someone is to see another for the good.I am currently looking for scholarships and money for college. I hope that you enjoy my poems!- August Forster
You,your words, your actions, and I
Can you hear the thunder outside?
Do you know what that is from?
My tearing inside of my soul.
I...
If and Only
If you think about it,
There is something good in everyone.
Some people dream in black and white,
While others dream in color....
Challenges and fear
If you do not conquer anything,
Then you will not have accomplished anything.
You will not of had any challenges in...
Do you?
Do you ever think about me?
Or our past at all?
I really did love you,
I just made a bad fall.
Do you still miss me?
Or are you...
Freedom
The sunset glows as if it was a blazing fire.
The whole sky turns a pinkish purple,
As a bird soars with the wind beneath its wings...
