Most of my poems were composed as a coping mechanism during my solitary moments as I tried to make sense of so many challenges that cornered my mental, emotional and physical being. I realized that not only had I neglected myself; I abandoned a great gift. My first poem was a high school class assignment. Here I am some decades later making better use of the gift of using the godability if using words to undig and exhume the many buried ideas that having been latent in the crevice of my soul
Writing, and more so, poetry helps me to stay tune within. It brings out the strength and courage when doubts try to creep in to distract me from my purpose
I learnt to express my feeling of anger, resentment and bitterness by letting them spew out on the pages of my journal, bits of paper or the PC.
