It seemed hidden, distorted, and just as confused as I was. I had gone through a series of titles I had given to myself until I decided to just embrace an idea of this: I simply am. There is not and never will be a need to label my self, because by labeling our selves, we lose a piece of our selves. We lose a piece of individuality.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
