My First Poetry Book: Shantelle 'elle' McLin

Preface In my first book of expressions, you'll hear an assorted tone of voices. Most of my life I have been a bit of a recluse. Many days I have sat near a window praying to the sunrise, with praises and with pleas to God for my voice to be heard. Being a person who has had many trials in life, I experienced many moods, emotions and awakenings. I am an emotional writer and I hope that the tones will set each voice free. Most writers have a passion for what they do, I find myself sometimes having no choice. Writing is more than a passion, a force field within that has become habitual as a way to cope with the trials I have endured. I've been sad, I've been angry, disgusted, torn, confused, lost and searching. It is within my written expression that I have found myself time and time again. As you take a read, it is my prayers being answered, my voice being heard. May it resonate of truth, feelings and love. I have cried all my life; each teardrop created is a poem. I hope that what I have experienced will not be in vain, it is my only desire to be that voice for myself and for those who have been silenced.Elle
