Differences Make Me Whole

My first poem 'Difference make me whole' is about the racially motivated comments that comes from a society that encourages me to change who I am and how I look. I wrote it after I got sick of being told my curly hair was seen as unprofessional or messy my hair is a strong part of my identity because of how much insecure history I have with it this poem is to show I am ready to take pride in my racial identity. My second poem 'And the power of all knowing' is about my spiritual pathway to what I've become today as a pagan satanist. I want to break the violent stereotypes around spirituality and show what it means to be what I am. My last poem 'The Web of Souls' is about my beliefs that all living things have a core connection and that we have an equal amount of spiritual power.

Being able to explore my emotions through my writing and art helps me better understand my strengths and weaknesses. I feel honored to be a part of the reasons that people are better able to express their own emotions to people in such a personal way encouraging others to find safety in writing.
