What can I say? I hid my name and profile for years and I don't have to anymore. I made a choice in my life to live my life in the real world rather than continue to regress on this website. I am proud of what I have accomplished and I plan to write a lot more as time permits....with my head held high! I hope everyone I knew gets the chance to read all of my poems that represent the worst years of my life along with the best years too. Wow - I was a sad lil pup when I joined this website and I am proud to say that I am very happy today - I hope the same inspiration comes to me to enable me to write again. Sadly enough it seems as misery loves company and I am not sure that I can write happy. I was never that blessed before. I only wrote when I was sad so we will see where it goes. Everything I write is dedicated to my beautiful daughter Brandi because she did not realize that I write poems. I hope she will cherish my writing, good - bad - or otherwise. The words come from my heart.................
