On Writing

I want you to read this. On the basis that I feel it is important, that I have a voice that has value in being heard. Because I am tired of walking into bookstores and seeing poetry chapbooks being priced at $20 and above.

This is how I am bringing my voice to the table. This is the only way I know how to exist, where the words carve out each line and membrane of my body. Where I am kissed senseless and molded between the lines of each page of my life. And I don't know how to accurately price that.

I am writing. For me, for the basis of freedom of speech and expression. I am writing because for the longest time I felt that nobody would listen.

I know better now.
