Hey everyone. I'm coach with Asian here. So I am working on this new poem. Let me know what you're thinking. I learned how to hate before I learned how to love. I was unwanted. Sits before I was needed. I was abandoned before I even was chased. I inscribed all over me with ugly, brightens and cursive. Hiding all of my beauty that I didn't even know was there. I boxed myself in spaces because I knew I didn't belong anywhere

Hey. Uncultured Asian. I think I said that right. I'm Lady Ray Jay, and I'm new to swell. Like brand, brand new. And you were the first one that I listened to, which was the poetry, the very last lines that you said about the ink, the leading on your paper. Oh, my God, that was genius. I mean, it's simple but genius because you poured your heart out
Oh, wow. You know that I love you, Amy. Seriously, I always think your poetry is the dopest, but I think this piece is the best so far that I've heard from you. It just oh, my God. It speaks to me so much because it just really tells the tale of why we do what we do, why we poet, why we create, why we are creatives

Hi, Lady Ray. Thank you for responding. I do appreciate it. You're not the only one that's new. I think this is, like, maybe day two or three that I've been on as well. Only posted about two poems on here, I believe. Yes. Whenever I pick up my pen, just the words flow out, and I exactly don't know where they come from. I always call it the magic of the pen. It's the power of the pen

Oh, thank you so much, love. You know I always appreciate you. I adore you, what you're doing for the community. I'm glad to be a part of your community. You want to know something about me is that I have a hard time expressing myself through conversation. A lot of times someone wants to know what I feel about a situation, I always say the words I got a poem for that
And it took me a very long time, it's taken me years to get back to the place where I could again express. And the scene that created healing for me, that created a pathway and a doorway back to being able to express, was poetry. So me being able to write out everything that I felt, me being able to write about all the things that I was holding inside that I did not tell anybody about, that is what opened up the lock that was binding me from communicating

But you expressed yourself very well just then when you left me a message. So, yeah, I'm looking forward to having an opportunity to interview you and just get a different perspective, not just you saying your poetry, but just like you expressed yourself about how people would ask you about certain things. And you can express it in a poem, but not verbally say it. We can explore that and talk about that and see how many other people actually connect with you in that way
