I am city girl from Detroit, MI that's far from perfect but can make perfection out of writing poetry. I was a class clown my graduating class would never believe that I could write poetry, let alone a sentence. I had this exterior wall up and always felt like I could not be myself even around my own family. I was damaged. I started writing poetry at the age of 10 my first poem was called beauty. Poetry was my escape from reality it soothed my spirit and soul. I feel in love with poetry. I always loved music and writing but, poetry just felt right for me. I graduated from high school in 2012, my senior year in high school for a senior project for English we had to write an "I am From" poem. My teacher read my poem and was absolutely shocked and gave me 30/15 points he said my work was truly inspiring. (Thank you Mr. Gidley) The energy from his feedback just brought me great gratitude and ultimately courage to believe in myself even more. I will never give up on poetry.
Some say
Love is a temptress;
Luring prey into its trap,
Set so innocently
So that victims
Walk blindly into it.
Some say
Love is a trickster,
Cunning and deceitful;
That it intoxicates the soul
And hides the truth.
Some say that it
Kidnaps them,
Brainwashes them,
And leaves nothing but pain
And suffering.
I say
Love is the chance
That no one takes,
The dream
That all fear,
The ambition
That no one feels worthy of.
I say
Love is the soul;
So afraid of death
That it never learns to
Live.

I may look OK the way
I joke and laugh all the time
but on the inside I'm truly dying
It hurts to laugh and upsets me to smile
If you knew me you still would not understand
the pain I feel on the inside but want reflect on the out
So who do who really see ?
Someone who is living with pain and anger but know peace
I want joy but can't get over my past
I just think about how long this pain is going to last
I can't proceed because of the hate I have within myself
and the anger I have towards someone else
who hurt me I wanna be strong
I wanna be free
