Shawnice Pate. In the early era of AOL, I found this website. It changed since I last came here. Lost person with the passion of bettering my craft. Poetry and Story Writing is my passion of interest. Art was one I invested in. Starting from the top: In Junior High School, a Yearbook inspired me to write. There was a collection of books and poems I've gotten myself to read. Fiction. I like reading about worlds. Creation and Narrative description is my specialty. Especially in poems. Went through a lot over the years. High School. College. Tragedies. Family. I hope to grow wise in skill as time goes on. Everybody here is inspiring in their own way. So I returned after looking into the poems. I'm in my 30s now. My previous presence here was in my teens. By posting more of my work, I hope to achieve success.

It's not my thing because I cannot relate to them.

I've dated Blacks and Puerto Ricans in my past.

I cannot relate to everything.

But I can understand with reason.

Since...

People Repeat

I've seen and the expected cheating.

In the past, I was never at fault.

If all people do is the same repeated thing, will their relationship history repeat?

I am about furthering a relationship.

Not faithfully end it.

Does the blame...

My Problem With People

I done in some time about who I like.

The way I love is passionately in depth.

I am a woman who is vividly in romance with the heart.

I am a woman who loves, creates and imagine the kind of possibilities.

I love to be a creator with...

Strong Women And Girls

I don't like the delicate, damsel in distress types.

There should be stronger representations about women

No matter what color they are.

Do you see them weak around us?

That is how some fictional characters are.

I cannot respect them...

"The Lord your God is testing you,
To see if you do love the Lord;
And if your heart and soul are true,
Whether He is loved and adored."

Four lines. Automatic favorite. I used to read the bible from time to time. I can relate because I believe in God.
