As a child I was a uncontrollably epileptic and I started writing to deal with the bullying that my peers choose to put on me. I was eight years old when I wrote my first poem and I shared it with my father from then on he was my encouragement. He use to tell me I was an old soul with strength he wished he had.when I was 15 I had brain surgery to help control my seizures I still take medication for them but doing well. Sometimes my wording and spelling are off please forgive me for that it's a side effect from the surgery. I lost my family within a 8 year period. My sister in 2002, my father in 2007 and my mother in 2010.So my poetry tends to be more depressing then happy. I guess that pretty much sums it up thank you for reading.
