When I was going through the poems to consider for publishing, I noticed it became....
A 20yr journey seeking love
Pieces of life stitched thru poetry
A girl who believed God did not notice her.
...A poetic journey of self-transformation.
I was first exposed to hard-core poetry with a book by William Blake in English Literature class. I could not understand what any of the poems meant but our teacher was so good she explained line by line!
Later, when I managed to get into university, I enrolled in a writing class to fulfil the dream of becoming a novelist. Alas, my professor made us write poetry instead! With my poor written and spoken English, it was a frightening experience to read aloud what I wrote in front of a class of all Americans.
I thought I was wasting my tuition fees in this class. So, I swore to myself I have to make it worth my time someday. However, the professor gave me lots of As and that boosted my confidence that I could also have a knack for poetry.
After thinking for years, I finally gathered the courage to self publish, despite all the objections from my head.

Here, I am trying to do something new -- to record spoken poetry and use my basic editing & artistic skills to make a meaningful video.
Enjoy "Night" by William Blake.
