Controversy in my poems



I know there is a lot of disagreement on the topics I used, but trust me, when I tell you they were written even before I knew you. Some of them was written when I was eleven years old.

You see when I was five I gave my heart
to Christ, people told me then, “You have an old soul.”
I write about things, which strongly trouble my mind with concerns about my woes, my foes, and things that
stops me cold.

I don’t know your stories but, only the
things that influence me. Like the things that make me sing or the things that bring me to my knees. So, if my poems rub you the wrong way, understand this is my life
and not a plan to start any strife.

With every triumph or failure that I went through, I can truly say God saw me through them all. So I give praise where praise is due. I don’t feel so passionate about a flower, power, rims or brims,
because of this I can’t write about things that don’t include Him.

When the day comes for me to leave this earth, I hope people along the way would say, she wrote every poem with verses concerning God, our Lord and Savior.
