W ell now I am known as Saccheen the poet but there was a time when I would never share my words with anyone. When I was younger I was known as the quiet one and the one who was very reserved and had a very very small circle. The only thing that has changed now really is that I'm not as quiet as I once was but I still have that small circle. For me poetry is my comfort, poetry is my best and most understanding friend.

Happy International Women’s Day By: ©  Saccheen Laing She is beautiful! There is beauty in her smile but there is depth in her soul She energizes the world with her thoughtfulness and brings life to it She is abused and neglected but still she cares for the world She loves hard and gives of her best to the world She beautifies the world and adds droplets of her love to water hatred in the world She is self-conscious and she is enticed by your compliments She is filled with wisdom and she imparts it as she feeds the mind of her child She is strong as she still gives of her best to her often ungrateful children She is hurting but she still beautifies her frame and appears confident to the world She is mesmerizing as you never know what she will come with next She is powerful and the world depends on her to build the foundation She is sexy and she sway her hips to the left and to the right demanding that your eyes be fixed upon them She is angry becaus...
