Welcome,
I have created my Self-Portrait website to give the viewers more background about who I am. I displayed this through my art I have created at Freestyle Academy. We also created a poem of a past experience in our lifes, and had to show something about ourselves that was different.
Climb by Gilles Laurent
Shake and slip
Sweat and drip
The cold granite feels like ice
As sharp as razors it’ll slice
Anything that slips down it’s sides.
My hands become weaker,
and the sweat in my palms isn’t helping either.
I feel like the whole world is watching,
Observing my every move waiting;
For me to make the mistake I had feared for so long.
I feel the blisters cutting into my fingers.
My cracked nails piercing into my already torn skin
I rotate hands knowing the pain will reoccur.
I have nothing left,
The long battle of pain was lost.
I close my eyes only to realize
The screaming voice of a thousand men.
Time and time again.
He reached out his hand.
and dragged me out of no mans land.
This poem shows my fear of heights. I am a calm person that is rarely stressed, but when I am it is hard to fight through it. I am a dedicated person and like to set new goals for myself.
