Biography
I have been writing poetry since I was in high school. I love to write about various topics, mainly things I see in the world, experiences I have had, other people's experiences, pretty much anything that comes to mind. I am also working on compiling my first manuscript of poetry to have it published. I eventually would like to have some work published, as well as write a few books for children and adults.

The Mirror of Me I know there is a mirror of me that is reflective of the woman I want to be I know there is a mirror of me that is reflective of the person I strive to be I want to always look into the mirror and see things crystal clear My heart is the mirror revealing the truths that I hold dear In my heart and soul I know the mirror can never be perfected For the mirror is simply all of my human flaws reflected The fear, insecurity, strength and frailty I know I am sometimes guilty of letting the image in the mirror get the best of me I love the mirror for all the lessons it teaches I love the mirror for all the layers it reaches I know the image in the mirror will never let me be completely free As the mirror is truly a picture of my mind, body and soul, reflected back at me
