Two words- Erin. Hanson.
After reading her poem 'Welcome to Society' it both engaged and enraged me. I ran around the house reading it to different family members and even made it my background on my phone for a little while (until a cute picture of my dog took priority - sorry erin).
Her poetry impressed me so much, it inspired me and my writing to extents I can't describe. Of course, on this blog, you have only seen a few of my more relaxed reviews and placid articles. But in my journal, I write a lot of poetry I do not have the confidence to share with others. My poetry is deeply inspired by personal tales and is taken from the deep depths of myself I like to pretend isn't there. I truly admire, and admittedly envy Erin's confidence to put her writing out there, under the critical eye of the public. But I guess it all paid off, she now has a large following of people equally as impressed by her poetry as I was.
So thank you, Erin.

Thankyou so much for all of the sweet words Hazel, I don't deserve even half of them. Perhaps it's foolish to share my words so openly with the world, but it's foolishness I'm willing to risk if it will help inspire others.
