I'm a striving Artist, Author, and Poet, I Have something beautiful to say to the world, my work is full of Confidence, Pain, Love, and Fantasy.

What about me? It’s hard to put a title to me, I’ve search my whole life for my calling, I always thought of myself as someone great, not coming from money, or structure, my journey has been a little harder than most, but determined to not allow that be an excuse, I went down many roads, looking for my purpose, experiencing failure, after failure, and losing Faith within myself because of my lack of success. I went so far down I became homeless, which is not fun for someone like me, but never the less, a learning experience.

When I was a little girl I would write to get my feelings out, and draw to release stress, not knowing that I was formulating Poetry and amazing Art Work. My Love for Writing and Art grew as I became older, in middle school I made photo copies of all my work and handed it out to my peers, needless to say: I was before my time, they not only; didn’t understand my work, but rejected it. I wouldn’t write again till I was in my late teens. This time keeping my work to myself, which was heart breaking because I fell in love with my lyrics and Art, I wanted the world to see. Fear of rejection, lack of focus, and drive kept the world from me, and me from the world, until I nervouly start doing spoken word for a Breast Cancer Organization Called Cierra Sisters, As my words reached struggling Woman, I realized that this was my calling. Now, I feel like I’m repositioning myself, To show my Love and talent for Writing and Art, to think positive and not allow failure to defeat me.

Wanting to make the next step, but stuck in a state of downcast, how will I free myself from this prison? Trapped in the essence of insufficiency, while the fire is roaring inside me, she bangs her fist against my mental guards, jumps the gates, and plows down the walls; never looking back she escapes all lack.
