Writing

I write short essays and poetry. I am a Spoken Word poet. I only write when inspired. I love writing because it gives me an alternative platform to express myself. when i write i a can be as loud,bold and as honest as i want and need to be. it gives me a different compartment of my mind to get to know,to explore and to keep cultivating. I enjoy writing because it s different from what i do for most of the day. it is a refreshing surprise from the depth of my feelings to release what i feel, to transfer those thoughts onto paper. I love to perform my poetry because I believe that sharing feelings is relative. you never know whose listening and who needed to hear the words you say.
