About the Book
You laughed when I said I wanted to sing,
You cried when I said I wanted to join the army,
You yelled when I said I wanted to be a teacher,
You were silent when I said I wanted to be a nurse,
What will your reaction be to hear I want to write?
Not stories,
Poetry.
Odd poetry,
With almost no form.
My emotions,
On paper,
Not in my head,
No longer in my heart.
Maybe this is how I will run away.

I’m an aspiring poet. Born and raised in Nashville, I met so many different people, and so many different styles of doing things. I write music as well as poetry, but poetry has been the passion I’ve pursued more. I write about my expirences, and I hope you can relate to them. Enjoy.
