From the Heart

<p>My poems come to me at different times sometimes at night. I will wake up with things on my mind and it starts pouring out. I keep a pen and pad by my bed to write it down so that I don't forget it. Not all of it comes at once. Sometimes I get bits and pieces of it so I write it down and then it all comes together. It's about my feelings about what has happened to me and others and the feeling I feel. It's like I feel my pain and their pain or their joy. It's very hard to explain. I just write what I feel.</p>
