I&#8217;m really excited about being able to participate in this marathon and honestly really nervous. Typically it&#8217;s hard for me to come up with poems, I basically just wait for them to come to me and just go with the flow. So this will be a definite challenge for me. Actually pushing myself to try and not be lazy.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been writing since I was seven and I also do spoken word. Even though I have THE WORSE nerves, like cotton mouth, can&#8217;t eat, can&#8217;t stop shaking, hold my pee until it&#8217;s all over nerves, I love it. \u00a0Once I get into my zone I become a different person and I can actually feel God. It&#8217;s an unexplainable feeling to say he least!<\/p>\n<p>I currently have a full time job at a police department, a part-time job as a Pharmacy Tech, I&#8217;m a substitute, and I&#8217;m about to start my Masters in Mental Health Counseling. I love sitting on the beach at night, just not by myself because I&#8217;m afraid of what may come out of the water 0___0. \u00a0Anyway, I wish you all the best of luck! I look forwarded to possibly reading you poems\/ future books!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone, My name is Briana and I&#8217;m a 26 year old from Miami,FL.
