I am A Writer

The pen is my voice. It talks for me as I remains silent, too afraid to speak, too tired to scream. My writings matters to me especially when nothing else in life seems to matters at all. It has been a key to my resilience as it became a way to vent and express my deeper innermost feelings and emotions. Within foster care and life frequents test, writing has got me through it. Childhood diaries to college applications; writing got me to where I am now. When no one listened and my feelings were invalid, when love was just four letters just the same as hurt, I wrote before I spoke or told or even felt empowered to do so. Poetry and such, short stories and sometimes longer, all told of a little girl, who wish to understand why she was out of place and why things seem to be always her fault.
