There are many people who can string meaningless words together. Others call this dribble "poetry," but there is no meaning behind it. People write for praise, profit, and attention. I try not to.
I write for me and just hope others like the works I produce. Edgar Allen Poe once wrote in an essay: "the point, I mean, that Beauty is the sole legitimate province of the poem." The point of a poem is to be true to the raw emotion in one's soul. A true poet is able to take the emotion that many hide, bring it to the forefront of his or her mind and then place it in a form that others are either in awe of or stirred up by. A true poet can take the simplest thing on earth and turn it into art through words.
I somehow dare to call myself a poet.
In these pages, I will take you through the life of a child and then a young lady that has struggled and somehow found peace with herself. It is a restless peace that contradicts itself in every aspect of existence, but it is still my peace. I will take you through my thoughts, views, and raw emotions I have felt during my short time here on this Earth. I will document my interactions with the world and its people through rhyme and metre, trying to cast them in new lights and shadow.
I thank you for your time, and I pray that you are open to what I write.
Have a Blessed day.
