A capacity for malice and heart of gold.
A juxtaposition so I’m told,
but when she forces him to fold,
you’ll know just what I mean.

Holding many a conflicting face,
it’s something pure but also base,
a bitter draught in any case,
that tastes of what I mean.

It wasn’t always this way.
A shattered heart led her astray
‘and it was mended wrong’ she’ll say,
‘Do you know what I mean?’.

So she did what she swore she never would,
that before she knew she never could,
so far away from the things she stood,
that forced her to be mean.

Hi all! My name is Natalie Denny and I'm a 26 year old youthworker residing in Liverpool.I'm currently employed by Liverpool Youth Offending Service and have been a youthworker for 9 years. I have been writing since I was a teenager for the enjoyment.I enjoy reading,dancing,keeping fit and socialising. As my area of work brings me in contact with many young people I would like to write about youth culture through poems and short stories.I would like to do this by detailing observations that are referred to directly or indirectly in my writing.There is a wide variety of different social groups and a diverse and rich heritage in my city and I feel it important that young people are portrayed and recognised.I also think it would be an interesting subject to document.Hope you enjoy my pieces.Nat
