A Glimpse Inside

For as long as I can remember, I've enjoyed my dreams. Some of the feelings were so poignant that I was compelled since the age of sixteen to write them down. As I started writing more, I found myself drawn to poetry — a space to continue the internal discourse during my waking life. When I was thirty-four, I gathered fifteen years of creative work and realized I had inadvertently left a map of a journey traversed through trials and life tribulations.
