: About Me

I'm a 26 year old, single mom of 2 beautiful kids. My son is 8 and my daughter is 6. I'm a student of Long Ridge writers group, currently work through their course called, "Breaking Into Print." I surround my kids with books. My writing has had a major impact on my kids. My son will sit with me at the table will I write an assignment and he will write stories in his notebook. When I pull out a book to read, my kids do the same. There is such an awesome feeling to know that your passions have a positive impact on your kids.
I write things from poetry, short stories, fiction and non-fiction. Currently researching and improving my skills for the final writing and publishing of my novels.
I'm not just a boring book worm with a love of words. I enjoy games- whether video, computer, board and even card games. I enjoy playing catch with my kids and am proud of my sons arm- he can throw a mean spiral.
My love for writing first appeared as a child. But due to my struggles in school and complete lack of understanding English- I was told by my teachers to forget writing. That my grammar and over all English skills were beyond poor. So, I went through my teens thinking they were right. Thus everything I experienced, all of the emotions got bottled up inside. It was a few years ago that they exploded. Poems, words and ideas would pop into my mind. Since then I haven't been able to turn it off.
I am passionate, open-minded and tend to speak my mind bluntly. There is a lot more of me that I show in my writing.

My passion is ...

Writing, reading

I know too much about ...

life experiences and struggles

My parents always told me ...

Do what makes you happy, don't forget who you are

My favorite memory ...

passing the test for school, gaining my acceptance

Why I write ...

Is experss my feelings and ideas, even give advice

My inspiration ...

my beautiful guardian angel.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: You're slowly killing me

1 of 2

Oh, cursed memories you're a disease that plagues my mind. Phantom images blurred by relentless tears, soon I will go blind. Venomous words you speak is the poison ravaging my veins. Deceitful love, like false hope that bounds me in chains. Your torturous confusion... love me, need me, yet you're with her. Stranded in insanity, forced to watch you love another. Unable to escape...you vow you'll die without me and beg not to leave. Weakness and pain so overwhelming...you're slowly killing me.
