“In case no one has told you this today, you are loved, you are valued, you are seen. This is the seen.”

Just because there are clouds in the sky, that doesn’t mean that the stars don’t shine.

I wish for my words to make someone feel, I wish for my words to make someone heal.

I want to leave a legacy.

I have never gone too far to be unloved by you.

The words I speak, the things I do, let them be only, all for you.

You have no idea how many storms she’s been through to grow and flourish in the way she is now.

Seasons change and that’s okay, there will always be light, hope and grace.

And morning came. Morning is for new beginnings.

You are worthy no matter what your journey may look like.

I hope you know you are not alone. In this dismal world full of pain and hurt, you are not alone. This is the simple truth.

Can I go against my humanness and tell you I want to surrender all this?

In the highs and the lows, he is there through it all.

A skillful sailor was never made from still water.

I want to be free like a bird, I will fly. In you I will find freedom, for you the sky.

Look at the flowers, and the birds in the sky, if they never worry then why should I? for he holds my life in his hands.

I think maybe its time for us to redefine love.

It wasn’t until I was named Youth Poet Laureate of L.A. in high school though that I officially began calling myself a poet. I just always loved writing, period.

Where there is love, do what you will, it will be right action. It will never bring conflict to one’s life. In the flame of love, all fear is consumed.

You never so touch the ocean of God’s love as when you forgive and love your enemies.

Human beings must be known to be loved; but Divine beings must be loved to be known.

I am always going to be true to myself.

I have my own high standards for what I want in a partner and how I want to be treated. I bring a lot to the table. I’m not talking about material things but what I have to offer as a person – love and loyalty and all the things that make a good relationship.

My first crush was this kid in kindergarten who told me he had tigers in his attic as well.

For me, love is the never-ending question. It is confusing. It is the answer, but it is also inundated with contradictions and complications.
