a personal

achievement to

try and

succeed but I

wonder if

my words

have depth

a weight that

surpasses all

understanding

a mention of

monetary reward

tastes like

poison

on my pen

Liyona is an “average joe” kind of writer who likes to think about ordinary things and then write them down. Ever since she can remember, she has been rhyming words and creating lyric poems. During her college years, she took a more serious bent toward writing and started to post on her blog (The Life and Times of a Quirky Character.) Currently, she resides on the East Coast of the United States just north of the country’s capital. Photo by SpaceX on Unsplash.
