I write poetry for therapeutic healing. I write poetry to help others release their emotions. I write poetry to entertain and discuss social values. I write poetry to emotionally move the reader. I have a true and sincere desire to share. I won't be satisfied until I've shared my poetry to the whole world. I want to leave my mark on the whole world. I want to encourage the sharing of thoughts and emotions. I have a talent from which others can benefit. I enjoy the satisfacion of unleashing my poetic voice.
I started writing poetry in 2001. This was my last year of college. I was 23 years old. When I start writing poetry, I just wrote for motivation. When I felt like quitting or giving up, I wrote a poem to help encourage myself to keep trying, keep going and moving forward. I write poetry for relief. Because there are a lot of intense emotions and thoughts inside of me. This is my way of releasing these feelings and thoughts. This is how I express myself. This is how I communicate. I believe that my poetry can relate to a lot of people. My poetry are rythmic (ryhmes). My poetry is easy to understand and follow.
