I am a college graduate and a certified Paralegal.
I have always been artistic, winning a poetry writing contest in middle school and enjoyed drawing replications of well known cartoon characters with precision.
I like to read romance novels and I love to watch movies. I am also an old school R & B music fanatic.
I’m been going through some trials in my life and I believe the poetry you’ll read on my page, will clue my readers in on just that.
Some are uplifting, thankful and enpowering. Others are of a personal level that speak for themselves.
Check in often as I will add more and more from time to time.
Phabranama is my username…my real name….well maybe one day I’ll make it visible.

I’ll forgive you for hundreds of shattered dreams / I’ll forgive all the nights of fear / I’ll forgive you for causing my flesh to bruise / and for cries that you refused to hear
My warm brown beautiful skin / has roots with ties to Africa, / the strongness of my hands and back / are of my ancestor’s replica
Should I maintain my fixed composure / Should I go along and stay / Should I speak on acts that were unkind / and pick up and run away
My prayer for peace / will start at home / releasing the drama / and tensions that roam
He comes and finds / a soul near worn / a spirit severely twisted / with faith in mourn
