No one is born
with a pen in their hand...
No one is born
with experience in their head...
No one is born
with the knowledge of who they are
and what they are supposed
to do with their life...
No one is born
with all that they could ever need;
however, everybody is born
with the potential to become
anything, or anyone,
and if we are lucky
then we get to be born to,
and brought up with,
parents and guardians who will give us
more than we could ever dream.

I was, I am, and I will always
consider myself one of the lucky ones -
because from the moment of my birth
I was given uncontainable
and unconditional love
by my Mum and my Dad...
I was, I am, and I will always be
a dreamer who will do whatever I can
to make whatever I can imagine a reality...
I was, I am, and I will always be
the one who will never allow
darkness to eclipse to the light
that throughout everything
I have had to go through
has kept me from going mad...
I was, I am, and I will always be
someone who will never give up
on anything or on anyone
whom to me beams with an ever-glowing
essence of pure joy and poetry.

I have always believed
and I have always shared my belief
that everything happens for a reason...
from the moment that
the wolf within my soul
began howling as a result
of the love that I felt,
which eventually inspired my first poem
and all that have followed,
I knew that I was who
and what I am for a reason...
I have always loved making connections
physically, intellectually, emotionally,
and allowing myself to fall
like a shooting star to Earth
and find myself somewhere
I have always been fated to be
with people whom I have always
been destined to meet...
from the instant that the spark of inspiration
within my mind was ignited,
I have always known that
only I could have seen what I have seen,
only I could have been to where I have been, 
and only I can think, imagine, express,
and write the poetry
that only I could write.
