The Weight Of Silence

I'm Alex.

Seventeen. I love music and honestly don't know where I'd be without it. I get embarrassed really easily. I'm pretty quiet when you first meet me, but I'm really just as loud and out there as everyone else. I wonder how people who don't know me well see me. I smile so people don't ask me what's wrong. Beauty is everywhere if you have enough patience to look for it. I don't talk about my feelings because...who wants to talk to people who don't care? I'm in love with writing poetry and when I just let myself write it's pretty good. I'm getting over how fucked up the world is and trying to be happy because ya' only get one life, only one chance. I'm a klutz, I'm hyper, I'm reserved, I'm loud yet quiet. I'm a science nerd, I'm a singer and an athlete. I'm a lover of books and a people watcher. I love love and will experience it any chance I get and I believe laughing is the best remedy.

I'm Alex, Seventeen, Me.
