Let others come to you and figure you out. .My poetry is  personal,  gritty,to the bone. If it bothers you, maybe you have learned something? Or perhaps you've learned something about yourself. Keep an open mind and heart.. Creating art and writing are essential  as breathing. Note: all artwork is my own originals. The poetry is how I view the world and what's happened to those I love, including myself. Learning to love also means finding your voice. I have been silent for far too long. No longer.

I MAKE NO MISTAKES IN WRITING, IN THAT I WRITE AND SAY EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN TO..ITS NOT MY INTENTION TO DO SO, BUT IF I OFFEND YOU, THEN MAYBE YOU HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING NEW ABOUT YOURSELF....I LEARN NEW THINGS EVERY DAY.  I KNOW I LEARN FROM YOU.  Be well. Do what gives you bliss. Enjoy who you are.   Please feel free to leave feedback, even if you're not a member of poetrypoems/com community.....I like to hear what you think.  Writer Melissa A.
