Bio:
Born August 18th 1983 in lancaster California. Moved around a lot during my childhood. Did npt know my father until the age of six. Was introduced to a lot of adult themes at an early age. Around age 13 I discovered 2pac and became obsessed with rap. My whole childhood was spent trying to be anything but myself.
I discovered my poetry talent by tge age of 21 where I wrote a lengthy poem called "Dear Jane" which even shocked myself as to how well written it was. At that time I was seperating from my wife and had gotten lost to drugs, mainly meth.
I would go on to write in a yellow notebook, jotting down poen after poem. In 2010 I found myself homeless in Syracuse, NY. I found myself drinking myself into a really bad black out coming to in a drunk tank. After a two weeks of jail I went to retrieve my things from a shelter I was staying in. Upon getting what was left I discovered my yellow note book missing.
Though after losing that book I continued writing poetry, my flair for it was hollow at best. That was until October 2020 when I found a poetry group abd started posting my stuff there. My first piece to start me going again was a personal piece inventory called "Undressed Beauty" which mapped out all the areas where I had lost myself. I have written many pieces since. Somewhere around 2,000 pieces.
My poetry is considered dark, psychological, emotional and very melancholy . My work rarely has a triumphant or happy ending.
