Notes About The Poem

I'm nothing special, perhaps someone gifted with words to see life from a unique perspective. That’s all I have is words to offer, besides the love for my fellow brother and sisters in this world. I'm placed here to go through hardships just like everyone else, and I’ve seen some traumatizing hardships. But each one of us must go through these hardships to see things uniquely, to learn from them, and in some poetic way, write them endearingly, meaningfully, mindfully, and empathetically.

It's who I've become as an author of poetry. 

Hey, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it! 

Just Me: Part 1

Just Me: Part 1

I am just me.
That's all I am.
Nothing more. 
Nothing less.
I am me!

Hello, Darlene! And thank you. I haven't been in here for a while now. Guess it's time I need to get back to the penning, eh? Darlene, I will do just that, and read some of your poems, and give the feedback we all need, really. Best of Wishes, William
