    J.S. Drake

    J.S. Drake is a 29-year-old substance abuse counselor who has been a closet poet for most of her life. Poetry has been a way for her to find hope, strength, and light in the face of great loss, abuse, and heartbreak.

She hopes that by sharing her poetry she can bring others home to the truth that they matter, and they have a purpose.
