Love.


"I would rather raise 5 more boys than have to raise you" said the women who created me.

9 years I lived with a women whos heart I could not picture.

Year 10, bought new beginning and climate changes

From the sunny boardwalks of virginia, to the icy sidewalks of Connecticut.

Love. 

so much of it, my grandmother provided. 

Two failing kidneys & a heart of gold. 

Love.

an Escape, is what I searched for

an obesseion is what I found. 

From Poe to Angelou I had know prefence. 

Words created pictures, pictures created movies

and movies bought me happiness.

Love.

"you werent lucky enough to have 5 more boys, so youre stuck with me" said the girl who loved her mother anyway.
