Growing up in an alcoholic home, I was never allowed to talk about the physical and emotional abuse to anyone. My three brothers and I never even talked about it amongst ourselves. I kept all the family secrets to myself until I was in recovery from my own addiction and alcoholism.

Through many years of therapy and painful soul-searching work, I was finally able to rid myself of the shame and guilt. It was only then that I was finally able to tell my story in poetry. I found that poetry best allowed me to describe the emotions I experienced as a child and my thoughts about love, life, hope, and recovery. All my work is from my perspective only. Any family or friends that may have a different perspective that is not my story to tell.

I hope my work brings hope to those suffering in silence. You can be free.
