I am no pro but have been writing poems as a hobby for nearly 18 years. I do this as a hobby but it is good to see my progression over time and share it with others to gain their opinions. Please do.
I talk a lot about the pain I have suffered emotionally, about love, life and death, and missing home. I recently relocated from Michigan to Georgia and some of my poetry surrounds that as well.
I am a single mother of a son and a daughter. I am a Cosmetologist and currently a Design student. I am in many ways wiser beyond my years and sillier than most my age. I like uniqueness and simplicity, if there is such a thing.
Its been such a short time
And though I have seen a lot
There's more to this life of mine
And I am up for the shot
...
Being the firstborn I came in the world tough
Surviving my upbringing in the projects was tough
Being raped as a virgin was more then tough
Being discriminated against was just as rough
...
Its a beautiful sunny day
Cool and windy this third Sunday
Straight home from church
...
Its your smile I miss
The tenderness of your lips
I miss your style-the sense of it
You and I are a perfect fit
