If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

6 poems·Since September 2013

I've been a writer for a long time in some way or another. It was only in the past few years that I realized my interest in writing shifted from short stories and novellas into poetry and prose. As for education, I've gotten my high school equivalency due to a complicated upbringing among many things. Nonetheless, I feel I am a fully competent writer and by extension an esteemed poet.
