Hello, I'm Afia, I'm 20 years old and I am from Philly, PA. I am an African American woman with active roots still in my African Ancestry, I am of Ghanaian descent.
Life was pretty rough for me growing up so I like to sometimes speak about these struggles and burdens that I have to carry and remember, sometimes I will include small bits of these in my poems.
I just like to write about whatever I feel like and I just let my emotion take over, I post as much of my work as I can on here.
I hope my pieces speak to others and I hope I can inspire at least one person or invoke some sort of emotion onto a person.
Thank you all who look at my work and may God bless your wonderful heart and soul.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
My life is happy
I feel joy too and through
...
Oh, what I'd give for them to stay,
As I saw the petals float away,
My mind racing with intense emotion,
...
'Why are you so aggressive? '
Unknowingly oppressive
Questions
Open my mouth once
