: About Me

I was born and raised in Maryland. I am the proud mother of five beautiful children.

I worked for 15 years for the Federal Government in various positions that allowed me to use my writing talent in the business arena. During this time, I wrote an essay for an Agency writing contest and won first place for the most inspirational essay.

I have been writing all of my life. It is a part of who I am and has always been my relief, my sancutary, and my saving grace. I write what I feel from my heart.

There have been many hardships and struggles in my life that I have overcome. Writing has allowed me to learn more about the person I see when I look in the mirror. It was allowed me to fight my way out of the dark hole of despair and saved me. It is my inspiration and survival. Writing is part of who I am, my heart and my soul. This is who I am.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Rage

9 of 175

The rage that consumes my body and my soul can barely be contained it has only one goal to destroy and to kill all I have left I need to find the light before my mind explodes Raging against my vices Raging against death Raging against life Tho' I do not wish to die Somehow this rage needs to vanish Somehow I need to let it go It's been my companion long enough Now it's time to say Goodbye!
