Poetry

I have always loved literature and creative writing. As a child, I filled countless journals with pages of poems and stories. I rarely shared them, believing they were too juvenile, too wordy, and too full of rhyme.

Over time, I began to appreciate and embrace my unique voice and style. Today, I write boldly and unapologetically, using rhythm and rhyme to express myself through poetry.

Here are some of my poems:

1. Not to Rhyme - A whimsical take on my talent for rhyming, despite my efforts not to.

2. Where I'm From - A poem celebrating and acknowledging the complexities of life in my home country, Jamaica.

3.  Do It Scared - Written to encourage myself and others not to allow fear to prevent us from living and doing hard things.

4.  Empathy - It's so important, especially in these times, to step into someone else's shoes. 

5.  I Drove Today - One of my greatest fears is driving. This poem outlines the uneventful experience of driving while afraid.

6.  Is That the Best That You Can Do? - We can rise above negative experiences from our past. They don't define us.
