Herein lies my emotional rollercoaster, and my work is un-organized as such. I begin with a more somber time, as I progress, the mood of the poetry irradiates and I reach an exalted peak, a time illustrated by cherished emotions. Finally, I will share with you the lessons I have learned succinctly, as any who would journey toward self-discovery would. In this way, you will experience life through an explicit yet far-reaching lens with the ultimate goal of understanding poetry as a form of expression, one that may serve as a coping mechanism for experiencing the multitudes of life. Moreover, poetry may serve as an empowering tool for you as it has for me and many.
