If
I were
The type to
Hold on to hate
Or nurture grudges,
Life might be easier
Because hatred is simple,
But things like forgiveness and love
Take courage and strength in this cruel world-
And that is the path I choose to follow.

She also writes and publishes plenty of individual poems on her website, and her work has appeared in the Talon Literary Magazine, the Beautiful Poetry anthology by Silent Sparks Press, the #AmWriting anthology by the Wayne Foundation, and Life Blood: A Collection of Vampire Tales by Gary Hill.
