Revelations of a Hood Chick

Poetry is an expression of one's perception of their life's experiences. Sometimes in life we have battles within ourselves. When we are growing and maturing it can sometimes be painful. But growing pains are normal. We as young children experience the aches in our bones and muscles as we grow. Well as adults we experience that same kind of pain but it's in our hearts and minds. The big picture is to embrace our pains because they're temporary. Once we have reached our maturity we have an unfiltered wisdom. That is something only experience can bring. The harder we struggle the stronger we have a chance to become. The choice is our own. In my life I have struggled with love. It's easy for me to give yet hard to receive. Therefore I have set out to conquer my inner self. I have started my journey by loving me and letting me love me back. I express my thoughts that are nontraditional because I'm not traditional. I have always been considered different or an outcast but I learned I am supposed to be. These poems are a reflection of who only God can see and I am ready to reveal myself.
