I started writing because I had something to say and it seemed as though no one was listening I spoke so softly and quietly at times my mom would get mad at me. So many bad things were going on in my life that I need to tell someone but no one was listening and I was afraid to say certain things...(speak when spoken to) was a rule in my up bringing. Then I wanted to tell people that they need to get back to loving one another. How was I going to do that so I decided to do it through poetry.
