The Dark Side of My Mind

I started writing poetry at the age of 16 for an English assignment. An assignment I was less than thrilled about. As it turns out writing those first two poems opened up the floodgates and allowed me to express all the emotions and thoughts that I was unable to express to those around me. It was written therapy. I came to enjoy writing and over the years my work has expressed a myriad of thoughts emotions and dreams. I hope that within these pages you will find something that speaks to you and helps you feel like you are not alone in the world. I have written about love hate pain fear loss dreams wishes and all the things that I had inside myself and that you may have inside of you. It is also my hope that reading these poems will not only give you a sense of belonging but perhaps inspire you to write poetry of your own. It can be a wonderful release in times when you feel overburdened and alone. It is a wonderful art and should be both created and enjoyed bar far more people.
