Melanin in Misery

I am a black woman and for as long as I know I have been a writer and a poet. When life gave me troubles I wrote. And for just as long I have been a poet that writes with darker connotation. My friends and family called me the Black Edgar Allan Poe and while it was a fun joke most chose to look over that what I wrote stemmed from my own pain and experience and nothing else. Now while I have grown and created depth within myself as a writer, I never stray too far from my roots. This series will be of poems, long and short, throughout the years that will guide you through the gateway of my brain that is my experience in agony. Welcome and Enjoy🖤🐈‍⬛
