I was in English class in middle school and the teacher read I, Too by Langston Hughes. That poem captivated me so much I thought to myself, "I want to write poetry, too!" Being shy and withdrawn and going through some of the awful things I went through in school I also formed a personal connection to the poem. That was back in 2003. When I first started writing poems I wrote a lot of limericks. So many limericks. I was writing between five and ten poems every day. It was a very liberating experience to be able to express myself in such a way because I wasn't great at saying things. Sylvia Plath and Black Ice were also huge influences on me. It was thanks to Black Ice that I began writing spoken word poetry and ended up performing the very first one I wrote at a small function at my high school.
