I began writing poetry when I was fourteen years old. I am now forty one and still have yet to finish many others I have started over the years. I consider myself a reluctant poet because most of my poems express intense emotions stemming from painful memories of my life. As a result, it is difficult for me to finish them. However, I feel the need to keep writing. It is as if the poems write themselves sometimes, as I sit at the computer typing away.
Remember where you came from.
Remember where you have been.
Remember whom you have encountered.
Remember whom you have known,
...
If I were a poet I…I would write from my subconscious until words magically formed into verses.
If I were a poet…I would not have any formal training or prior knowledge of how to arrange words in such a way.
...
If only the world could see things through my eyes…
Trusting in others would never harm you and even strangers would help a person in need.
If only the world could see things through my eyes…
...
Tormented, frustrated and tired, I look to faith to drive me forward.
I sit insecure, yet hopeful that I will joyously witness the promises of tomorrow.
The ever so powerful Lord, will He acknowledge me, and bless my existence.
I am, after all, just one of many crabs here, and we often hide from others out of fear.
