Stanisław Cichy

Hi, I’m Staś, short for Stanisław. I’m a 14-year-old writer and poet from Poland. I was born without vocal folds, so I can’t make vocal sounds or speak. I communicate through writing, typing, and other ways of sharing what I think and feel. I write poems and thoughts about feelings, everyday life, things I notice, and the stuff that stays in my head. I like words with a mood, and I want my poems to make people feel something or see something in a different way. I also like drawing, photography, cycling, music, reading, and being outside. I’m quiet and shy, but I notice a lot, and writing gives me a place to put it all. I hope my poems and posts can make someone feel understood, or at least give them something to think about.
