About Me

There's really not much for me to say about myself. I'm a poet but I'm so much more. I'm just trying to grow everyday and become a better person everyday trying to inspire everyone I come in contact with to become better everyday. I like a couple of sayings that I try to live by; Sky's the limit, and everybody is a star. If you know what songs those phrases come from then you might know a little bit about who I am and who I'm striving to be.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
