Born and raised on the southside of Chicago, I'm a Senior at Grambling State University and I will be graduating with a bachelor's degree in English.
During a time I didn't have a consistent circle of friends and I wasn't talking to anyone, I started writing poems when I was a sophomore in High School. Basically I wasn't expressing myself, and much less living. I decided to sit down in my room, look in the mirror, and try to figure out who I was. I choose poetry as the best way to do that.
Just like it was when I started writing I continue to express myself and the world around me, and in that process I really find out what I think and who I am.
I'm always optimistic, and always pushing to new heights.I'm open to comments, advise, random thoughts, etc.
Ask yourself,
How many lies we shared together?
How many secrets we kept apart?
Keeping broken hearts intact

Amongst thousands of his blessings

I wrote this after getting an amazing smile from a beautiful girl, and as well intentioned as it was I could just tell she was smiling to keep from crying or at the very least having one of those days...
I can read you
Your pain is written in your lines
...
When what you know, no longer is
And what you once believed is in question
You go into a molten state
There is a new fire inside of you
...
After the smoke clears
We gone burn it up some more
We gone drench gasoline with burning gasoline
And aint gone leave until the smoke fills
