Bio
Just a poet that knows it doesn’t rhyme with poet.
I like to focus on our modern world in my writing, because let’s face it, if schools want to teach poetry, make it useful and understandable to today’s students. Language changes with time.

A Day in My Mind
Trigger warning: mental illness, depression, depressing thoughts Note: This is just a little poem about how I feel inside my head. Kind of as a way to get it out there, rather than repressing it inside myself. The repeated verse is what's constantly going through my mind all day. It's my reality as a recent graduate of 2017, having no clue where my passion is, or what I'm doing with my life, the best I have right now is poetry and writing.

Seventeen
(Note: This is a very touchy subject, and all respect goes to family and friends of the victims, I sincerely hope and pray that something will be done about these lives being lost. I really want to help by spreading awareness of the victims and trying to tell a little bit of their stories as best as I could find out about them. I know it's not a super big window as to who these people were, and only those who were close with them could tell us that. But all the victims sounded like wonderful people, and not a single one of them deserved to go in such an unfair way. Each individual had so much ahead of them, and they were all so different and unique. And again, all families and friends of the victims have my sympathy and respect.)
