Write a poem, Save your life, A Guide for Teens, Teachers and Writers of All Ages “Well it’s my story, and It’s what motivated me and put me on the mission to teach others and show others this incredible path of writing for healing and empowerment and self expression.”
” I think the really challenging part in working with teens, especially is allowing them to find their own way…I see them in terms of their potential and their gifts and their talents and their skills.
I can name it all and tell them but the work of owning who they are has to come from them, and I think there is a necessary piece of growth in what ever it takes us. Like my crazy life. What ever it takes us to get to the point where we finally believe in ourselves and value ourselves and create purpose out of what we’ve gone through, and then make it into something to contribute and to share and to help others.”

When you find that place in your own writing there’s sense of salvation. Like Ah I’ve come home to myself. I can be myself, I can be completely honest here.
A poem should not mean but be.
