i am an aspiring poet. my writing is heavily influenced by the likes of Keats, Poe, Blake, and most of all by the mangaka Tite Kubo. Kubo is the creator of the manga 'Bleach,' and his use of poetry and how he tells a story around and through his characters has had a tremendous impact on my writing. Many of my poems deal with my struggle and desire to express my truest self, and about relationships. i just started to record myself reading my poems and uploading them hoping to share my work with more people and hopefully to reach out to anyone who may connect with what I am speaking about through my writing. hope you enjoy what ya' hear!
