1) What is the theme of your poem?

The theme of this poem is experiencing lust over love. The idea of how a toxic relationship has its own romantic advantages and disadvantages that a long term faithful relationship may have. Everything that glitters isn’t gold but you still respect and love what was even if it ends in an empty and lonely way. 

2) What motivated you to write this poem?
I see relationships that sucks the life out of friends/family but I feel that some people have their own preference in romantic relationships but in the end we find ourselves lonely. 

3) How long have you been writing poetry?
I have been writing poetry since I was 18 years old and it intensified during my time in college. I have grown up around music and that is where my passion for poetry began. 

4) If you could have dinner with one person (dead or alive), who would
that be?
I would have dinner with my mother so I can ask her about the afterlife, laugh at memories, and tell her how everyone is doing. 

5) What influenced you to submit to have your poetry performed by a
professional actor?
I am still finding my own voice in reading my poetry, so to hear it performed has provided me with confidence to read my poetry in front of audiences to enhance my emotion in my writing. 

6) Do you write other works? scripts? Short Stories? Etc..?
Yes, I write short stories, lyrics, and essays. I want to begin writing musicals/plays so I can combine my love for music and screenwriting. 

7) What is your passion in life?

My family is a huge passion in my life, I always want to make them proud. Attending concerts and jamming out on my headphones is an escape to my personal world of music.
