I write for myself. So that I can look back on all poetry as bookmarks, placemats of where I once was, who I once was, what I was thinking.
Everything I write is based off of myself and my own experiences. In the course of a span of time, there might be many poems expressing different aspects of the same thing, which right now is definitely the case.
I hope to gain a foothold on myself through these poems. I write about things I could never admit to myself, and hope that, in writing, I'll discover things I've never seen before.
And I hope that in reading, you will see just a little splice of who I am.

TheClimb : Mutual Feelings on October 14, 2007You and I write the EXACT same reasons---I write because I want others to know my pain and know where I've been. I believe that in order to understand yourself you must first acknowledge your past and your pain and from there you can move on.
