Writing is an escape for me. I once buried this talent, but in recent years have discovered it again. I'm glad to have found a community of poets. Writing is so freeing, even when the words are a jumbled mess. I often pair a poem with a drawing to manifest the words. My motto is "Words can create pictures; pictures can create a loss of words." I want to inspire people. I want to make people think from a different perspective; make them uncomfortable. It's a tool i use, not only to express myself, but also to help others. That's the biggest joy writing has given me. Everyday I strive to get better, in writing and in life.
