Jennifer Wilmer is a single mother who was raised in Temple Hills, Maryland. Though she has lived in different areas along the east coast, Jennifer has found her way back to Maryland. As you will see, Jennifer writes under the penname of JStar, a nickname given to her by a dear friend that has remained with her for decades. As a mother of two beautiful daughters, she absolutely adores spending as much time with them as possible and her main focus in life is guiding them into adulthood the best way that she can. Jennifer strives to demonstrate to them the unconditional love that this world doesn’t always provide while expanding her professional writing career to depths never before dreamed of.
JStar has been writing ever since she can remember; first by journaling daily and eventually branching into writing songs and short stories. It wasn’t until later, out of admiration of her mother’s poetry and how beautifully her words formed, that she began writing poetry of her own. Writing allows her to express inner feelings that she would normally keep to herself. Her emotions flow onto paper. It is a place where she can be honest, blunt, and raw with words. Expression through words is not an option for her; it's something that flows naturally through her veins like words contained on the edge of her tongue that just have to be spoken. For her entire life these words were kept private, now she has been brave enough to share her heart with the world. To build her nerve up, she first started Open Mic sessions then blogging and now is pursuing professional publishing. Her purpose for writing is to share stories, in hopes of providing comfort in times of need as well as sharing her feelings on different types of love and life's happenings.
“Thoughts continuously flowing in my head pouring out of my soul like sweet sugar coating my words” JStar
I refuse to be number two
No matter how much I love you
Even though I know your heart belongs to me
...
The beauty of a woman
Is not determined by a man
Her beauty can be found in her grace
Not just the beauty of her face
...
Sitting there watching the sky
Watching the clouds pass me by
The sky is a deep blue
You can get lost in the clouds for a few
...
You are wonderful in every way
You truly know how to make my day
You are an amazing man
Beside you is where I will always stand
...
Keep your head up
Don’t let the circumstances bring you down
Even though the problems continue to mound, and don’t seem as if they will let up
Stop focusing on what is around
...
