I'm Nicholas Steffen
GunMetal is my stage name
I am 18 Years Old
I enjoy strong cups of coffee in the morning
Or whenever available
I play video games
Like Pokemon and most first person shooting games
I am a musician
Music makes me live
I play the drums and guitar
I want to play the bass, the banjo, and the mandolin
I like to read
My favorite author is Stephen King
I am an artist
To my friends I am loyal and trustworthy
I try my best to help them whenever I can
and I always try to be there for them
I like to call all my Fans my Buddies
Because "Fans" sounds a little impersonal don't you think?
And besides, we're all friends here as far as I'm concerned
I am not very many things
but how many things can you be
I'm not perfect, far from it, and I like it that way
I am a poet
I found that poetry is the meaning and cure to everything
I want to change the world
and this is how I'm doing it
I've been writing poetry for a little more than a year now. With the help of my friend Patrick, I was able to start taking my writing seriously as a habit. When I started attending a weekly open mic, my writing skill increased steadily. Not to say I am a great writer, that's all an opinion, I just started finding my own voice, my own style.A friend of mine used the music myspace to do spoken word poetry. Since alot of poems I read and wrote sound better spoken, I decided I would make one myself. I hope you will enjoy what I read as much as I enjoy reading it.
This is the myspace for The Unheard Poet. He inspired me to get my voice on myspace so check him out. He's very good.
