There's a few things you should know about me before you read my work. First, I am a very passionate person. 99% of my poems/lyrics are based of life experiences I have been through. I started a writing about a year ago when everything in my life crashed and burned. My heart was broken, I lost all of my friends, I was failing in school, and had no support from anyone. All I would do is sit down and write. This was one of the only ways of releasing my emotions and coping with pain and passion.

I am an artist, so I also draw, paint, make videos, and play guitar. Maybe you will laugh at this but my favorite band is Limp Bizkit. Their music has gotten me through many hardships in the past. They are what has inspired my to start writing and creating music. I met the lead singer, Fred Durst. I told him how much his music means to me and how it has helped me so much. He responded in a very deep way. He told me "We have to reach the deepest darkness before we can come out into the light" or something along those lines.. I don't remember exactly how he put it. I believe I have a purpose in life, and that purpose involves what I am doing right now.

I am thankful for every experience God has put me through for I have learned a great deal out of each one. Not only do I learn more about people who have come into my life, but I learn even more about myself each step of the way. No matter how hard things get, I will always come out as a stronger and deeper person.
