Street Poetry

I started writing poetry as an outlet to the tragedies

that have occured in my life. I have survived

child abuse; physical, verbal, emotional abuse,

racism and discrimination for my sexuality. I have

overcome dark moments and have enjoyed happy

ones, and through it all I have had my eyes on

the prize. The goal has always been to share with

others my thoughts and feelings, no matter how

raw and uncensored they may be. I share my innermost demons because I

know that there are many others out there just like me. Women and children

with no voice, and with no choice. I write because it is natural to me. I write

because it is my choice. I write because I have found my voice.
