Dickinson,

Hughes,

Shakespeare,

Just to name a few,

Confidantes within the shelves,

Even Poe,

In his questionable state,

I could relate,

Seeing how I’m eternally a tell-tale heart,

Forevermore,

In Frost,

I found comfort in the path less traveled,

As rocky as it may have been,

Through the pages of the past,

I found inspiration,

Forged my own voice,

Hoping one day,

Some adolescent poet in training might say,

“Daniel did her own thing with brutal honesty.

About the Author

From a very young age, Elizabeth knew she was meant to be a writer. Around 8 or so, she started with little poems inside birthday cards. As years went by, poetry became her safe haven in a world full of chaos and beauty. Through written words, she found her voice. A voice according to doctors, she was never supposed to have. Today at 34, she still re- reads those poems from the early days. Now housed on her bookshelf in old binders.
