I have been writing since I was a small child, but I have never had the confidence to share much of my writing. I always tell myself it is a type of therapy, a simple pleasure; just something I do for myself to pass the time and occasionally vent or get lost in a world I create and control. However, most of the time, my characters take control and often lead me to places I would rather not visit, or cannot find my way back. I have three poems that are published.
