I was born in Alabama. Lived the first 9 years of my life in Florida, but then moved back to Alabama after my grandmother passed away to live in her house. I've been here ever since and I absolutely love it. I am married to a wonderful man who is my best friend. I'm surrounded by my family and friends and beautiful nature. I am a follower of Christ. I've always loved to write. When I was little, I would write my parents little notes and slide them underneath the door of whatever room they were in. I just loved to touch people through my words. Verbally and on paper. When I became a teenager, I started to write random poetry for fun, but also for school. I realized that it wasn't homework for me to write, it was a joy. My poetry streak really took off at the age of 15. Now, having recently turned 30, I have been through a lot in the past decade and have not written as much as i used to. Ups and downs, highs and lows, defeats and victories...you name it. I've felt a lot of different emotions and thought many thoughts. And I've composed quite a few poems and written many songs through it all. So, this is my place to share them with the world, to touch others through my words. I hope they mean something to you. Thank you.
Grew up on a little gem in the Caribbean, a tourist attraction the eyes never misses. There I had my education, primary through college. Life has always been a challenge but with God I keep climbing, and my dreams are slowing becoming. Writer, teacher, website owner of https://www.livingtoreachacme.com/ and more. Always loved poetry. I dreamed of poetry, tried but never thought I was good enough. Today, I am here, I stand only by the Grace of God. He is just so awesome!!!!
My name is Tashoy Bailey. I realized I had the potential to be a poet when I was 14 years old. However I started to write and document when I was 16 . I write both Jamaican dialect and English. I also write plays and short stories but my sweetheart is poetry. At the age of 19 I got saved by the grace of God and so my poems now are centered around Him. He is my muse. Therefore I would like to welcome you all to vast in His righteousness and holiness. Love you all!
I'm most comfortable writing my thoughts, not very good at explaining myself verbally. Words tend to come to me like waves. Poetry has always been my way to say exactly what's in my heart and I love it. I write to free myself of anxiety and write to get my thoughts of many things and feelings into the open for others to see. I know my voice matters. I love to share the craziness in my head whether it's writing or drawing. Enjoy !
My Name is Doris Phylicia Williams, I was born in Freetown Sierra Leone, after completing high school I got a scholarship to study in the United States . I got my Psychology Degree at Rend Lake College Ina Illinois and then moved to Maryland to join my family. I am divorced with three children Donicia 16, Donella 15 and Donovan 6 years old. I live in Clarksburg Maryland and I love it there. I have worked in the mental health field for 15 years and lived in America for 19 years. I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior for about 10 years now and my life has never been the same. I have received so many prophetic declaration in my life through my Pastor Dr. Abdul K Sesay and I am thankful to God for his life. I never knew that I was a poet until November 2015 when my spiritual Sister Invited me to a Women's Conference in Upper Marlboro Maryland where a Pastor told me that I have a poetic calling in my life. I cried so hard after that but when I came home I told my Pastor and forgot about it, Until last night when my Pastor prophesy again that this is my season of expansions. I then realized with the help of the holy spirit that God wants me to follow my dreams this year. That is what made me wake up early this morning and wrote this poem of my life.' I hope and pray that it will inspire somebody and change lives. Doris Phy-Williams God's Battle Axe
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!
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.
