A Poet Is

The collection of my work was done when I was between the ages of seventeen to twenty-five. I wrote a lot to try to make sense of the world, of loneliness, of people, and of my own feelings. It helped to get me past difficult times and to release myself of the pain life can cause. Although I may still struggle, it gives me some solace in knowing in myself that I may evolve, learn, and move forward by knowing myself and sharing with others.

My hope is that my work may help others. If even one person is helped to make it through, then I have accomplished my goal.

Although life can be cruel and hard, it is the love and the goodness in people that truly make a difference. Sometimes, the people with the best hearts have the hardest time in this life. Do not give up on life. Everyone feels, and everyone loves. Despair can weigh a person down and make them feel hopeless. There is always hope. It must be clung to no matter what.
