$100 Poetry Slam

STORY/BIO

One day while working as a CPS Investigator and after a long day in the field I was emotionally exhausted from seeing all the trauma and abuse. I came back to the office, slumped down at my desk, put my head down, and started crying and when I lifted my head I had a pen in my hand. And the first thing I wrote was. “What Good Is My Masters Degree If I Can’t Be The Master Of Me” After that everything came pouring out of me. All my trauma and abuse, all my hurt and pain. I’ve been writing ever since and I made a vow that day that I would be vulnerable and transparent so that I could inspire other men and women that it's okay to share your heart.
