A Poem – Week Seventeen
This poem is more spiritual than the ones I usually write, but it is about more than actual angels. It's about believing in anything that one cannot see.

A Poem – Week Sixteen
This poem was written around 1994. I used to spend a lot of time staring out the back upstairs window when I was stressed out from school or family drama. Taking note of nature was like therapy to me even though I was only seeing a backyard in the middle of the city. Little… Continue reading A Poem – Week Sixteen
A Poem – Week Fifteen
Something about this poem reminds me of Game of Thrones. This was written somewhere in that tumultuous time during my later years in college or soon after. I can tell whenever something was written during this period, even if it isn't dated. I felt hurt, lonely, frustrated and at times, hopeless. Life was not turning out like… Continue reading A Poem – Week Fifteen

Coloring my imagination Like never before.… Continue reading A Poem – Week Twelve

The following are the other two poems that were published in my high school literary magazine my freshman year. Troubled Woman's title was inspired by the Marvin Gaye song, "Trouble Man. My goal was to capture to the grittiness of his music from the 1970's. Sorrow was based on a painting that I saw during a… Continue reading Two More Poems – Week Eight

In a word, high school was miserable. Even though it was only the first semester of freshman year, I no longer had the friends I had in middle school. We were still in the same classes together, but I was on the outside of the inner circle. I had an epic verbal battle with my… Continue reading Two Poems – Week Eight
