I BEGAN WRITING POETRY IN THE 2ND GRADE WHICH STARTED OUT AS ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE BLUE... IN A VALENTINE'S DAY CARD FOR MY MOTHER. EVERYONE IN CLASS HAD TO DO IT, BUT WHEN I SAW HOW EASY IT WAS FOR ME, I BEGAN TO WRITE MORE AND MORE JUST FOR FUN. I LOVE WRITING POETRY. IT EXPRESSES THINGS INSIDE OF ME THAT NEVER LEAVE MY LIPS BUT COME OUT ON PAPER JUST THE WAY I WANT IT SAID. I BEGAN WRITING SONGS IN 1997. I WOULD HEAR A MELODY AND AUTOMATICALLY COME UP WITH LYRICS. OTHER TIMES I MAKE UP A MELODY IN MY HEAD AND THE LYRICS JUST FLOW. I HAVE EVEN HAD TIMES WHEN I AM TRYING TO SLEEP AND THE WORDS COME TO ME AND I HAVE TO GET UP AND WRITE! POETRY AND SONGWRITING HAVE BECOME ONE FOR ME. IT IS AMAZING HOW MUCH ADRENALINE I GET FORM THE USE OF A PEN, PENCIL, CRAYON (EVEN EYELINER IF I CAN'T FIND SOMETHING TO WRITE WITH). I LIVE AND BREATHE THIS CRAFT. IT IS PART OF ME LIKE SECOND SKIN. MY LOVE OF MUSIC IS EQUAL TO MY LOVE OF POETRY. I KNOW THIS IS MY DESTINY. MY JOURNEY BEGAN EARLY FOR ME AND WILL GO ON EVEN AFTER I DIE. BECAUSE I TRULY BELIEVE, THOSE LIKE ME WHO LIVE AND BREATHE THIS CRAFT OF RHYME, LEAVE A MESSAGE IN VOLUMES THAT OUTLAST THEIR LIFETIME...
