Poetry is a philosophy, or a physiological way of outwardly showcasing one's emotional bearings.
Sometimes, ONLY emotions can be verbalized through writing. Often times, when I couldn't find the exact words, exact concept, or proper approach to a situation, or feeling, I piked up a pen and decided to write.
I want to first and foremost start with thanking my Heavenly Father, my Lord and Savior. Because of him, I was truly BLESSED with the innate ability to speak freely, utilizing my imagination and painting the world as I see it to to others. Without Him, I nor my work, would begin to exist.

I owe much gratitude, also, to my father and his wife. Throughout the later part of growing up, they dealt with a great part of my inner demons. With a lot of patience, understanding, and strength, they were able to pull me out of the dark void I saw myself slipping into. They are wonderful grandparents to my two beautiful children, and are amazing parents, to ALL of their kids. Thank you for steadily believing in me, even when I have moments of sheer uncertainty withing myself.

To my Grandfather, My wonderful Angel. Many times you were my silver lining in the darkest of dark situations. The constant protection and adoration has carried me through some of the HARDEST moments in my life. From the silent but immense amount of love you've poured into my soul, to the drive you've instilled in me. For standing behind ALL of my decisions, even if you disagreed with them. For protecting my well being.....THANK YOU> Thank you for always believing in me and helping me see the woman I have become today.

To my heart.
Thank you for allowing me to comprehend and process, openly, the secrets to REAL LOVE; unconditional love. No price tag, no strings. The ability to unequivocally nurture me and my heart back to it's original stance. Allowing me to once again enjoy the wondrous complexities life has to offer, on any spectrum. For being my cheerleader when I doubt myself. For teaching me that love requires much effort, has many faces, and embodies different emotions, settings, seasons, mentalities, strengths, and opinions. Thank you for reminding me that even when it seems non-existent, love carries much more, and can and will carry you through the roughest of storms. To you, I owe the very best of me. To you, I owe so much. My inspiration is always flowing and abundant. Thank you for sharing the humbling experience in celebrating myself, through my art.
