Let's see...I'm not sure where to start...
I began writing after advice from my mother.
When my parents separated when I was in 6th grade and my dad's disease of alcoholism and drug addiction began to worsen I had no idea how to deal with all these new fears, feelings, questions, anger, and sadness that my 11 year old self was experiencing. I was, and still am, very close to my mother who advised me to start writing, that it always was a healthy outlet for her in times of confusion.
To say the least, I took her advice and have been writing ever since.
I have kept most of my writing private, some of it I have not even read since I wrote it 8 years ago now.
Recently, I came upon an old K Swiss shoebox full of pieces of paper with my writing...it made me cry...mostly because it's hard to believe that those feelings I felt then I still feel today.
In my life recently reality has forced to me to realize just how short life truly is, and that it is nothing to take for granted.
A young beautiful soul who recently has passed has inspired me to take the suggestion of many of my friends in the past, and began blogging/sharing my writing with those who might be interested...so this blog is my attempt.
Poetry is the form of writing that I love, and that I enjoy doing...however sometimes my writing are just thoughts, randomly wrote down to simply get onto paper and out of my head...
Not sure which poems I will share first but this sort of "confession," or explanation of this blog is where I am starting...
Love,
Tues
