I come from a place of brokenness, abuse and complete abandonment, however with God's grace I found a place of rescue and healing. My daughter has become an instrument where I can express to her all the love I have bottled up inside for so many years and having been to afraid to love for so long with the fear of being hurt. I Have found a treasure that I can keep, a gem that rewards me with unending beauty and pleasure. She is the light in the dark my refuge and my sanity. God's Majesty shines out of her in the way she cares, shares, holds and speaks. I will share with you how I have come to overcome and how my faith has kept me in this place of warmth and growth.

If I try to write I believe I could, But to be honest I don't think I would Without trial and error there is no chance, My writing skills would ever advance, To write wonderful poems you must be so great, But in the end writing poetry is my fate, So I wont give up on my long favored dream, Even though this is so much harder than it seems Just read my poems that I hope you like, and give me feed back. Just hoping you might <3
Born a winner in a family of almost all guys and mostly importantly a follower of Christ with a personal relationship with him and can do all things through him cause He strengths me and He never wants to see me fail but succeed. I love poetry and the way it brings out certain emotions in people especially me it gives me the platform to get to the real me and say out things that I wouldn't openly say out to any one else am a poet and wants everyone to be that. with poetry everyone has a platform for open speaking and open minded creativity.
when i was little i would (and still am) read and write poetry and short story. through time i learned to put my thoughts and feelings into poetry and tell stories of my life through poetry. I am a poet that has been through the same feelings and difficulties as other people. And try to shine beauty on everyone. I love writing my poetry and see that people enjoy them.
Grew up in a good family but experienced my parents divorce when I was going on 4 years old. My grandparents (mothers parents) were my sister, Candice and my."Other parents". When I was 11, going on 12, my mother and father decided that it would be in our best interests to live in the Eastern Cape with my father but we ended staying with his parents. My father's eldest brother lived there too. He molested me..My sister and moved back, I had only revealed that I was abused when I was 17. My father's grandmother told me not to tell anyone when I went to her when I was 11. When I was 15, I started using drugs and was struggling with addiction for 7 years. Long story short....I now have three beautiful daughters, married for just over two years and I manage a kickboxing club my husband and started. I fight too..we cater for children who are under-priviledged. My husband, Moenaan, was muslim but now serves Jesus as His personal Savior.

I was born in El Salvador and raised there till my 6th birthday, the rest until now I've lived in Maryland. I'am the second oldest, the middle child you could even say. I'am a poet from not what I can rhyme but from what i can say to mean what I feel. I've been writing since I could grasp a pen and bail a mark out my spirit. I love the beauty of words and expression, I am the ruby of flies; the source of words that carry an audience. I love poetry its the only drug worth rolling in paper, and the only taste i find it unwinding to saver. This is my biography poetry its self.
Well I'm not your average lady, I'm crazy fun but very focused. I'm very spontaneous but responsible. I'm pretty weird but normal, I adapt easily I'm a peoples person.I love people but get easily annoyed by some. I'm confusing but an open book. Life has always been a crazy drive, it wasn't always sunny days and roses but I learn to accept, adapt and move on. I'm the friend that has seen some crazy things in life don't speak about experienced it too, but you'll never say unless you read this or I tell you. I feel like I'm always being tested so I try to just live life to the fullest. There is so much that could be written down here but I wouldn't want to freak you out.
I've been told that I'm a book of contradictions. I'll start with the basic stuff: I'm 23 years old. I have 3 siblings: one sister and two brothers. I was born in Savannah, GA and raised in the state of GA. After graduating from Gilmer High School, I went through a period of emotional tragedy that led me to the cross of Jesus Christ. At this point in my life, I realized that all of my sins had caused Him to pay the price that I should have paid. Upon this realization, I fell to my knees and repented with all of my heart (the best way I knew how to, anyways). When this occurred, Jesus set me free. He set me free from my sin, from my negativity, from my selfishness, from myself. He gave me love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness and temperance by His Spirit, the Comforter of God's children. He wrote my name in heaven, and He gave me His Word to guide me until the day I get there. Praise be to God for this wonderful gift! So, as you may have guessed, I am completely dedicated to the cause of Christ. Nobody, nothing will detour me from serving my God. Although I may stumble and fail time and time again, I keep getting back up and pushing onward for Jesus. In the end, He is the only One that matters, anyways; everything else in life is ultimately meaningless without God! They say that I have a very eccentric personality; I would concur. I have my "extremes", I suppose. I can be very hyper and energetic with my friends (to the point to where I annoy them), and I can also be very quiet and to myself. It just depends on what mood I am in, really. Overall, I'm an introverted extrovert. Although I enjoy conversing with people, I prefer to stay within myself and to think about the deep things of life. And by deep things, I don't mean just academic stuff; rather, I mean the things that really matter. The things that we will carry with us into eternity. The things that God cares about are the things that we should care about, for God is good, and His Word is good, too. Whatever His Scriptures state is true; that is what we should cling to, for His truth is the ultimate source of truth that we have. Without it, we are ultimately doomed to wander in the darkness of this world. It is a light to the lost sinner and a source of comfort to the redeemed. Praise God for it! I think very abstractly.... that's just one of my personality quirks. I think in angles that most people don't think in. I am also a people watcher; I enjoy sitting back and observing people in the midst of conversation. I'm always wondering what's going through someone's head and why they are thinking that way. I guess I'm just one of those kind of thinkers. My hobbies are simple. I enjoy reading the classics (To Kill a Mockingbird, A Pilgrim's Progress, etc.). I enjoy thinking about stuff. My most joyous past time, however, relates to music. I have a jukebox for a brain, so I always think in terms of numbers and music (math and music go hand in hand for some reason. I enjoy both!). I have been playing guitar for over eight years, and I continue to do so with the utmost joy! I write my own music and apply it to God's Kingdom. Everything you see on here will reflect the goodness of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May it honor and glorify Him!
