"To fear death, is to limit life"- Xin Wuku


I am creative
I value the teachings my mother has taught me that my father should have.
I write about the connected memories from my broken mind.
I trust no one, for the world can turn its back and laugh at you
I honor our soldiers, who fight day and night for a country who will never fully appreciate
I give voice to the fear lurking in every teen's heart.
I give voice to the light that is surrounded by the dark.
I am God's Gabriel
I make serpents scour in fear and disperse through the forest.
I hold those I love dear close to my heart.
I am safe writing on the page
I make my home a place to write

The author's comments:
I chose to use full expressions rather than single words and phrases to fully describe who I am. I especially love the reference I chose to God's Gabriel. Although my religious view is not that of the Christianity faith, I admire the position that Gabriel has in the story of the Bible, and his unyielding loyalty to god. He is truly one of the purest angels I have read about. In the next line also, I chose to use a biblical allusion using the serpent has a symbol for the devil, such as it was used in the classic novel of Of Mice And Men. Please leave constructive feedback; I will gladly appreciate your time.
