I first began to write poetry when I was in high school, and I tend to use it as a form expression when I need to vent my frustrations. After many years, it seems that this is still the case for me. I have since ventured off into the realms of blogging, but my poems are my 'babies, ' and there is always something behind each one.
I hope you enjoy the works I share on here. If you would like to critique them, please feel free to do so. If you would just like to leave a little comment, I welcome those as well. Thank you for taking the time to read my work...
It takes courage to change yourself
It takes courage to reach out to someone
To admit that you can't do it by yourself.

We teach our children to respect others,
It is something we come to expect.
It seems that the older they become,
The manners they tend to forget.

From the day I learned about you
I wondered who you would be
For nine months, I waited and waited
Finally, the day arrived and you came to me.

I have a special area in my life
Very few people know of it
This place is reserved for special people
You may not even know if I place you there.
...
You close up your heart
You close up your feelings
You close up your mind
Why not open the door?
