description: While living in the city I have struggled and succeeded in many things. I have been exposed to many things also, both good and bad. Written in the poems provided are situations that I have either gone through or witnessed. It is very hard to achieve coming from where I'm from because so much negativity can bring a person down. Through all the negativity, I always try to bring positivity into my own and others’ lives. Although at times I feel down, my surroundings make me stronger. From birth to present, I have learned a lot. I have gained and I have lost things and people. Different occurrences on Earth inspire me to write poetry. The rich and the famous are not only my inspiration; everyday people inspire me also because I am an everyday person. I laugh, I cry, and I hurt, but through all of this I live. I live to face everyday challenges.Hopefully my poems can open those eyes that are often closed. Give hope to those who believe that they’re hopeless. Give strength to those who are weak. For people who go through many trials and tribulations, I want them to realize that they are not alone. A person doesn’t have to have wealth to be rich. What is worth more than life itself? My goal is to inspire people because people inspire me.
