: About Me

I grew up in Chicago. I have wanted to be a writer since the 6th grade. The first thing I ever wrote was a poem called the ETERNAL FLAME. After that its all i could do, well by the way and then in 7th grade I wrote my first short screen play and it got a grant to be made in to a film and working with the cameras and the writing i realized then thats all i wanted, to write and film. So here I am hoping to touch some one with my words.

Before you I was ok, now I lay here battered and beaten and afraid to take a breath. Before you I could smile, now I wonder what that feels like. Before you I was much stronger. Now I can't seem to rise up off the ground. Before this I didn't know what to be, but now I see that to make it out of here I need to find me.So I thank you now, because before you I was lost and unsure, but as I get up and finally walk away, I can say that now I am who I should be, I am exactly where I should be and that's all because I wasn't her before you
