I usually write lyrics but I also really like writing poetry. So, I'm here to share that.

My writings are mostly just food for thought. The world has many cruelties there are days where all you feel is the dark grey and black bits of the color wheel of the world and other days there are bright vivid colors of every hue of the rainbow.

numb.

For a writer, I find myself at a loss of words when it comes to describing myself. I guess to sum it up: It's all relative. I have a biased view of who I am because..I am me. My one biggest fan. You just have to make your conclusions on who I am

A free range organic questing free spirit. Helpless romantic and a vivid dreamer, an introvert with many passions and flaws, a complex being that will concur the world for those close to the heart.

not really sure who I am, or who I want to be, but I know that writing is where I feel safe and free and understood.

Words have no power alone, but the feelings that motivate to form sentences and phrases can give healing, motivation, and comfort to the soul. I write what’s inside, I print what I perceive. My hope is that my written expressions connect with your personal experience; that your thoughts and emotions connect to what I am trying to convey.

I write to complain
I write to confront
I write to defend
I write to feel
I write to motivate
I write encourage
I write to heal
I write to release
I write because its a divine ability
Grateful for the gift
