My Poetry

my life in poetry

I have written poetry for as long as I can remember. It helps me to process what I'm feeling and express those emotions that are too powerful to get out otherwise. I write for me. Some of my old poems make me cringe and some bring back those feelings and make me glow. Those are the ones that work. For me.
