I watch and read and sometimes interact with people who will read the same poem but get a completely different view of what the words mean. Some are easy to and are right to the point, and the mind doesn’t see it. I believe that you have to work with a poem to get what the poet is trying to say.Not what you believe it means.

To focus
3 years ago
I carry alot of anger deep inside me, and it comes out in sarcasm, and I withrdaw from the world. I want to be able to focus and be calm for at least 15 minutes to begin with. Been working at it everyday for two weeks. So far not doing a good job. My mind is so cluttered, I just can’t get the rooms to clean out.
adoption out of foster care
3 years ago
Ever since realizing I will not have my own children, I would love to adopt two children out of the foster care system. I believe that I can give a loving and healthy home to children who really need it. And as soon as my health becomes better, and my education mostly complete. I plan to start.
