Deeper Than Dreams

About Me




Name: Poetris aka Poe
28 Years WiseBirthplace: Tampa, FL
Influences: Life
Writing, a portal to self expression. A big part of my life. Why? Because it helps me get through the days. When I was younger that's all I did. Growing up broke in a broken home barely standing made me realize you've got to strive to become better. You have to thrive to live better. I don't take things for granted because if I did I wouldn't be here. For all those people who take life for granted and all you've got hit the X in the top right corner and don't come back. For all those who think they don't have anything, think again. You've got the power to do anything from the ground up. And in my opinion that's the best place to start. You make what you take. For all the people out there who put down those around you for the way they look, talk, walk, and live their life...just remember you can change. Don't blame.
Writing is a source of energy that flows...you either have it or you don't. My words are out there for everyone...criticize if you will constructively. I can take it.
Writing is a creative balance. An act that once engaged in takes you through something. Whether it be someone's life, a fantasy, or illusion. Words can break barriers and knock down doors or they can block you in...you choose your own path.
From the heart, soul, and mind of one. Created with the intent from none.
STAY TRUE
Always

LOVE

I've had the privilege to live in poverty if you haven't you can't explain it.
It's an appreciation for who is around you not "what" is around you.
It's about what is in you not what is "on" you...therefore I strive for a better life...not for fame or money but for quality.

"If I acted like anyone else I'd be a hypocrite
But in today's society most would rather be illiterate
than be what they are...consider it
I don't have the patience or time to filter it."
