Finding My Voice

I was born a literate, I was born under strange circumstances and yes I was born laughing.
After twenty something years of living, I find that life is more than just what we see.
I come from a family as diverse as the number of people in it and I have always found myself in situations that make me the underdog, yet somehow, against my best intention, I have always managed to stand out, Maybe because I am a talkative, maybe because I can sound smart at times, whatever it is I've always been oil in water.

The first time I wrote something I enjoyed writing was when Ms. Owusu my JSS 2 English teacher (who I had a mega crush on) gave us an assignment to write a poem. I've lost that poem, and well most of my earlier  works, but I know it was about a street child, and I totally enjoyed writing that. So when in Secondary school I found myself among friends who loved writing, I was totally elated, from writing poems to woo girls to just writing letter I loved it all, and I do really miss writing letters.

I have since graduated to writing not only poems but drama scripts, dissertations, diatribes and well a lot of raves and rants.I started posting my writing on facebook with much reluctance and skepticism, but seeing the response I got from my readers just spurred me on.
 Joining Ehalakasa and POETS provided me a stage to not only exhibit my poetry but also perform it. Now I'm at a new frontier, BLOGGING.

A lot of people have asked me why I don't blog, and my answer has always been the same "won't have the time for it".  I have finally decided that my excuse is not good enough, it's time I too have a say. Maybe now I can share it all, my poetry, my stories my raves. Hopefully I'll find people to read, hopefully I'll make some sense, and hopefully I can tell you all the story of how I found my voice.
