ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
I was born and raised in the beautiful island of Jamaica for 12 years. Then I lived in New York City for 3 years, until I somehow ended up back in Jamaica and lived there for 5 years. (By now you should have guessed my age) I am currently a college student in the US majoring in sociology and a minor in English. I love writing very much but since I returned to the US I have found it rather difficult to re-ignite that flame and passion that I had for writing. Hopefully as I post my work in Storymania, I can receive constructive criticism, or reviews of my work. I welcome negative reviews of my work because I feel this can help me to make my writing better. Things like, “this poem sucks!” or “I don’t understand anything you are talking about in this writing,” I welcome with open arms. I have traveled around, and have numerous experiences as it relates to the environment in which I’ve lived in. I admire diversity and culture, and hopefully someday, my admiration and interest in the various ways in which people live their lives can influence me more profoundly to reach out to people. I feel that writing is a way to start and gives me a chance to cut across borders and transcend across the continents, across ethnicity and race. Especially since I attend a university that is historically white, and 90% of the students are white middle-class Americans and I myself is of African descent. My passion for diversity increases the more I am in this kind of environment.

Denied Jahri Ann
Never looked like I’ve lived a better life
I’ve been pushed down and laid aside
Denied, and I’ve cried
Lied to a million times
I’ve even ran out of rhymes
More sad times than cheerful times is
All I see is these faces of disgraces
Of these corrupt police and polices
Disrupt progresses, flinging of rights
Clouds of despair, fear, insecurity
Steps aside and watches humanity
Wasted away go astray
Worthless lives see
Controlling people’s lives as their only solution
Clueless, unconscious, deteriorating culture
Picking away at its flesh by one hideous vulture.
A child abandoner, free for all eternity;
Unaware of her wrongs, ignored of for how long.
When people cry they cry the question why.
Every female face an enemy,
Unsympathy, denying me:
A motherless child lost in the wild
