Power of Writing

Writing has always been a powerful tool of self-expression for me. Art in the form of words has allowed me to navigate through the toughest moments in my life. Writing allows me to put my raw emotions on a page & organize them into understandable structures. It allows me to make something beautiful out of my pain. It allows productivity and pride to come from hardship instead of stagnant grief. It helps me understand the unfathomable.


I believe that creativity is a human ability available to all. My poetry has helped me immensely & my hope is that it helps you too, but greater than that, I hope it inspires you to create. Imagine instead of reaching for something outside of yourself to fill the void within, but using the void within to create something outside of yourself. The possibilities within us are endless.
