- What You Need to Know About Me:
- Serious about my poems, essays and short stories! Quiet, laid back. Love a football. Crazy about basketball. Can't tell a joke to save my life but I don't mind laughing at one. Getting closer to God is my main goal. Raising my children to be responsible and wise adults is the key to my life. My art is what keeps me going when times get rough.

Today I Cried
the last time was
so long ago
i cant remember Y
i thought it was impossible

accosted by my father
further trodden upon
by her beautiful ebony complexion
and neglect
i cried because
i was taught never to question my elders
but it was my elders questions
that lead me to suffer my mothers fate
