I turned to poetry as an escape goat. When I first began to write I was young and had a few poems published at the Brooklyn Public Library, Macon branch. I use to hang out at the library everyday after school and one of the librarians told me about the course. I fell out of writing and picked up the pen, again, when I was a teen. My poems were full of rage and anger. I had no way of expressing myself other than punching in walls.
This time around my poems are different I show all forms of emotions mostly love. I started writing again in December of 2017. I was trying to sleep one night and couldnt the poem keep developing in my head and I couldnt sleep until I wrote it down. Each poem is a story of my life and based on true events. Im a free-lanced writer. I write poetry based on my life and struggles and hope to reach out to others who have faced some of the difficulties I have. If I can help someone to know theyre not alone and others who has gone through the same struggles Ill be blessed.
I hope my poetry reach others that have suffered the same turmoil and provide faith to know they can overcome their struggles. I battled with these issues and had little to no faith in believing I would come out a victor. All it takes is prayer and faith in God, you never know the angels assigned to you. All it takes is one day at a time, although, it may seem as all odds are against, the strength of God will move through you.view less
