Who am I? Well I’m a nobody poet. A short nod to Miss Dickinson(I’m a nobody! Who are You?) I am a nobody who connects with my humanity through my poetry and writing. I am in a season of life- one that requires a lot of confession on my part. For what better sacrament than sitting in confession. A confessional life is one that points to the realness of what is happening in one’s life. So here are a few confessions I am walking out in my life;
I am a survivor of generational childhood domestic abuse. I am also a survivor of sexual, psychological, and spiritual abuse- and it ends with me.
In my survival I have used addiction to cope with the amount of suffering I have faced throughout my life. Trauma breeds addiction. Violence begets violence and it ends with me.
I have participated in religious systems who have harmed others- and it ends with me,
If you come and glance at my work- here is what you will find- a person who is lost and is seeking, seeking compassion, seeking truth, seeking goodness, but most importantly I am seeking myself.
