My Story


Introduction

Do not pity me

I got myself into this

I’ll write myself out

 

Beginning

Lines on a clean page

Ink forming words forming us

I have seen the world.

 

Middle

Pain turned into art

Teach me to forgive myself

Broken rhymes help heal

 

End

Keep starting again

Each haiku tells a story

Hear me tell my own
