Because it seems counterproductive to keep art "in," I write it all down so I can sleep at night. / / I have been writing ever since I was 8, and I count my first poem about llamas (would you llike a llama?) as perhaps one of my greatest works of all time. Of all the poems I have written (and there have been many), there seems to be one common theme- I, like many other writers, hope to chronicle my short time on Earth and somehow understand the world around me.
