In My Own Words



 

TP: What is an Artist?

An artist is someone who isn't afraid of judgement. They are one with themselves, past present and future. They create understanding without speaking.

TP: What are your passions?

Funny, I do not believe in "passion". What I will say is that I LOVE to dance, I LOVE to write. 

TP: What are your favorite styles of poetry? What are your favorite styles to write in?

I do not have favorites. I like freestyle poetry. 
 
TP: Who are your favorite poets and have they influenced you? how?

Maya Angelou. She is such a beautiful human being in and out. And in and out she has taught me to be beautiful, no matter the circumstance. 

TP: When did you start writing?

I started writing from a dark place, home life. When I was in 1st grade. 

TP: Where are you from?

Born in Queens, raised in Brooklyn, everywhere now.

TP: Why do you write?

To find meaning and understanding within my life, because speaking/talking is too simple and I love challenges. 

TP: What inspires you?

Everything inspires me, especially the sun. If it can shine everyday, so can I. 

     
TP: Have you discovered what is unique in your voice as a poet?

No, no I have not. That is why I continue to grow in not knowing.

I've loved, and felt powerless. With you, I am powerful.  There's so much in time, we try to decipher every line, but nothing seems to rhyme unless we fine tune it with drive. Not everything needs a motive, or ample reasons.  Love doesn't choose seasons. It chooses you and how you project your truth. Knows who exactly to share it with and who you're most comfortable feeling it with. All it asks, is that you are unafraid.  That you love unconditionally, empathetic and melodically. With your whole heart and being.  And then I, met you.  How could I explain such force.  How could I ever put this into words?  Seems so wrong to beam broad dreams on the unseen, Such tragedy has caused this generations catastrophes &  abnormalities.  And here I am with you. The strand of the revolution. The end of my self pollution.  The beginning of my intrusion.  My sufferings solution.  I'm conscious of this love fest Let the blinds manifest Let fear

Haunted House

I lived in a haunted house once. I saw things. I felt things. I heard things.  I became things. It happened so often. And never followed me but it called me all the time. I knew whatever it was was old, it had been around for a long time... haunting the walls, hunting the feelings, haunted by feelings, not letting me sleep, not letting go. I will never forget the day I turn down and looked at the hall because something woke me up. I felt a presence so strong and heavy I couldn’t stop to look. In that moment the door of the room that I was in began to close and I close my eyes so hard until my mom’s roommate came to me and told me to get ready for school. I was quiet all day after that and realized that there was a spirit in the house. It’s not my first encounter but it has been my strongest. Today as a story rises again in me I realize that I have been a haunted house for my soul. My soul is the same young girl scared in the room, innocent and curious... watching the door clos

Alien. I’d like to see your body Out of control , your figure is an ailment Just say nice things to me Tell me how well I’m doing  Don’t judge me bc u can feel the things inside my head  Be calm with me  Encourage me  I know you’re empathetic but let’s take things slow  Let’s be one with whatever before I go : this is me I just need to know  Sometimes I feel like an alien Maybe I am  Out of this world bc I’m always in my body and out of this dimension  Don’t know why I come back  Is it safe to want to learn lessons  always want silence?  To never speak  To never be  To just dream and see.  Move the body outside of the mind you’ll never need to see this planet ; you exist everywhere in everything (goddess) CANT YOU SEE?  They mock while you create  Accept your fate What you’re being, you’re feeling When you’re crying, you’re healing  That is so special  Your existence is helpful  No need to run away  Show us your alien
