Get to know me.

When people ask me when and what prompted me to start writing, I freeze up. Not because I don't know it or because I'm naturally talented but because I find it too personal to explain.

I didn't start with articles or fiction (I still can't write fiction🙂), I started with poems I've written so many poems that I've lost some of them already. They say poems have a way of explaining your deepest feelings and evoking emotions in the reader. I think loneliness and ignorance provoked my first poem. I don't have it anymore, but I remember how I felt before I wrote it. Like I was spiraling down into a dark abyss where no one could help or even see me. At the time, I was dealing with emotions that were too much for me, and I didn't even know what they were. I remember crying every day and even creating time in my schedule to cry in the middle of the day and at night. I had nightmares too, and so I'll cry myself to sleep to be knocked out, waking up two hours later to write another poem, of course.

Birthday wish: Happy birthday, age successfully? Really?😂😂

I laughed so hard when I saw it. What happened to ‘Happy Birthday, God bless you or ‘Birthday blessings to you’? All these online English teachers shaa.😭😂

Let’s continue…

I know my answer now if I'm asked this question again. I started writing poems because they provided me with the company I needed and still need in my loneliness. When I felt whatever negative feeling I felt, I wrote poems. To document my life or just put it out there, I can't say. All I knew and still know is to write. I won't talk about the way you offended me or the things you did to hurt me but don't be offended when you see it in my next poem. I don't know how to talk about emotions; I wasn't taught how to. This is why most of my poems won't contain happiness, love, or other mushy things (I'm working on that). I can write, though, and my pen is mightier than your sword.

When I say life is cruel and you can be crueler, I mean life will show you shege but you can (show life that you are a sage; I heard this somewhere and it seemed like a perfect meaning). Being a sage basically means being wise and having profound knowledge. As a person, understand the truth that life is going to throw so many troubles your way so be prepared to face them, learn from and don’t let life win. Fate is a bitch, show her you are a HI-DAN💪🏾❤️. We don’t falter here, we cry in private and face the world with confidence, heads high and backs straight. Do you understand it now?

I want to make money from my writing, but it's becoming complex and farfetched. This is because I can't write fiction, and apparently no one buys poems.

I can do it, though.

I'm not held by my own strength(Maverick City-Firm Foundation).
