Writing the Pain Away was written to reach out to some of those that may have experienced some of the same pain I experienced and to share what I did to overcome that pain. There were times when I felt it was hard to explain how I felt. I was not one to speak up nor was I comfortable in sharing a lot of my inner thoughts but I have always been able to write things down. I can't remember how old I was when I first started writing but I felt writing was my friend. Pen and paper knew everything about me and helped me express things in poetic form. Since I have a love for music and singing I always wanted my writing to have a beat. Sometimes as I looked for my words to rhyme they ended up having a deeper meaning than I originally intended, a clearer explanation to what I was trying to say. After accepting Jesus as Lord of my life it opened a whole new world of writing. The things I would write would somehow minster back to me as though someone else was the writer. That's when I really started to heal from the pain. There was now answers, someone who loved me and knew everything I had written. I want to share my experiences with others in hopes that I can lead them to the inner peace that I have found. I pray that as the readers take each poetic journey with me that they find it a helpful journey that brings answers and eases some of their pain.
