Reading my Poem "Think of You"
This is my first time recording a poem I wrote years ago. 😅 It took me weeks to finally share this with the world. My voice was one of my insecurities growing up. I just don't like how it sounds. I realize that recording my voice helped me embrace my imperfections. I usually read stories aloud

Original Poem - Let Me Sleep
There’s a kind of tired that sleep doesn’t fix. A kind that lives in your bones, behind your eyes, in the silence you carry around. This poem is for those moments when you’re just… done. Not looking for attention. Just honesty. Just release. If you’ve ever felt this, you’re not alone. #Poetr
