Here I Am: All of Me

By Niki Love Jackson-Blake

Here I am was written for those who ask themselves: Why? Who am I? Who do I want to be? Am I worth it? This journey of self-exploration offers those seeking freedom, spiritual enlightenment and peace from within comfort and a sense of calm regarding their struggles and experiences.

Niki Love Jackson-Blake expresses raw emotions regarding love, intimacy, faith, parenting, marriage and adolescence. Through the pages you can hear her cry, see her fears and feel her pain. Her struggle with self is evident and her overwhelming desire to change is constantly present. She blames no one for her circumstances and delves within to find the answers she seeks. Through poetry she stares herself in the mirror unmasked, willing to accept who she is and ask God for help.

Here I am speaks to your soul and soothes your heartit invites you to explore your own emotions and discover your true desires. This honest work of poetry seeps in to your being and compels you to reflect on self and achieving inner peace.
