Some people think I expose myself too much in what I say in my poems, I don't consider myself a poet as much as I feel I am a story teller, how can one write subjected to other peoples point of view on how I write, what I write, and how I express myself. This is my journey and self expression is how I choose to deal with it; words, writing has been the outlet where I control without fear, without shame, the pen and paper will never betray you. A poet is one, I believe, can take a surgical scalpel to the soul and let it bleed what it truly feels.....
To believeI am troubleI am needyI need attentionI am worthless I am guiltyI am shameI am hatedI am...
When I wake up in the early morning hours to make coffee in a chipped four cup carafe and fearful I will swallow a piece of glass...
The years pass us by, and still we don't meet eye to eye
In the silent screaming resentments, the quiet pretending...the vagueness of words...
I Am that I Am.
I am determined.
I am a Dreamer.
I am vocal.
I am Spiritual.
I am Hopeful.
I am fearful.
I am insecure.
I am a Survivor.
I...
I, I of the Storm
Cannot always remain determined and strong
I am sleepless nights-
Fear and fright-
Anxiousness- I am Post traumatic...
