Why I write -
It started in college when my English Lit professor gave me a ‘C’ on my paper on a Shakespeare play. He told me I had no imagination and didn’t know how to write with passion or depth.
I took that rejection to heart. What else was a 19 year old Black southern girl to do. That was a tenured professor, he must know what he was talking about. So I thought.
I never wrote another word until depression hit me dead on at the age of 50. Uncommunicative, my husband fed up with me said....if you can’t say out loud what is bothering you, then write it down. Those simple words were the catalyst that saved me and started me on this journey.
I write so others know they are not alone. I write to let others know I have been in their shoes. I write to tell my story of survival so others can have hope of survival also. I write to help myself and others who may read my words. I write because I have to.
I write everything my characters tell me to write. They speak to me and compel me to tell you their story.
ONE SINGLE TEAR
One single tear
All I have left
One single tear
I now give to you
The years we wasted
Going about our lives
I give, you take
One single tear
I've shed enough tears
To fill several oceans
Now, all that's left
Is one single tear
Do you ever wonder
If maybe, I do know
Love alone won't last
Only one single tear
My last gift to you
Take it or leave it
Accept it or reject it
My one singe tear

Most of my poetry ends up on Instagram, but here is another one that came about after drinking too much Vodka late at night.
UNLOCKED
I locked it tight and threw away the key
Built high, strong steel walls around it
I boasted that none could penetrate
The thick tough exterior I hid in
I loathe the sunlight that makes it shine
This lie deeply ingrained in my spirit
Flushing the truth to the surface
A light that ruins the darkness
I keep it hidden, locked inside
So small the room it hides in
None knows it even exists
The pain you cause me
