I'm been writing poetry as long as I can remember. Growing up I faced several traumas which affected my health and made me very ill. Poetry has always been my escape, something I do when I feel I need to express my feelings and I am only able to make sense of them when pen meets paper.

Originally I only ever wrote poems for myself, almost like a private diary. However after one of my teachers came across my poem book I received enormous amounts of praise for my work and how she felt she really connected with one of my pieces as it was  something close to her heart.

This made me consider being more open with my poetry and a friend of mine recommended I start showing them to the public which is my reason for joining Poeticous.

My poems aren't fantastic but they mean very much to me and I hope you will be able to connect with them. Always great full of feedback-  I'd love to here from you!
