Who Is Kim?

Struggles Breed Strength

I can remember a time in my life where sharing my journey wasn't an option

There was no way in the world I was going to let people into the deep, dark parts of my heart and soul
So I chose to write about them instead

I became a poet at the age of 12 after the death of my grandmother

Of course I had no idea that what I was writing was poetry but what I did know was my pen and paper

became the outlet I needed at that time and something I would continue to do well into adulthood

Hurt, anger, fear, doubt, heartache

The paper was the prisoner to all my pain

Harboring the many things life had thrown my way
But it wasn't enough

I had a purpose that went far and beyond my crumbled up pieces of looseleaf stuck between countless numbers of 99 cent Walmart notebooks

I had to not only write about my story

But I had to share it

Someone needs to hear you Kim

Someone needs to know that they too can make it through

Someone needs to know that they aren't alone

So here I am and here we go

Buckle up, pour a glass of wine and welcome to my world

One blog at a time

This is First Of All Kim
