About
I am a 30 year old mother of two. I have been writing poetry since I was about 12. I have been through a lot of traumatic experiences in my lifetime and I have never been one that is able to really talk about my feelings with people. I always have this fear that if I open up to people then they will see me as weak or something, so, I started writing my feelings down on paper in order to get them out so that they wouldn't be locked inside. I haven't had the emotional support that most people get from their families. My dad left when I was 3 and even though my mom was in my life, I was the parent in the situation. I wasn't brought up to believe I could trust my parents and in turn I have had a very tough time with trusting anyone. If you can't trust your own parents, how can you trust someone else, right? I had to deal with a lot of bad things, with only myself to get me through it and I survived. I decided to share my poems with the world because I have finally figured out how to move on with my past and I am hoping that my story can help someone else that may be going through some of the same things.
