I started writing poems as a teenager to express my feelings because I could not just come out and say them. Every poem reflects different parts of my life. Some are sad, some are happy. But they make you think of life and family. My first book Inner Thoughts, done by PublishAmerica, allows you to sit and feel what I went through during different periods of my life. Even during the rough times it has helped me become a better person, mother, and friend.
