Writing poetry has been a passion of mine ever since I learned how to write. However, for the past couple of years, I have been determined to complete my next book in the Inspire Me Series, titled ”Inspire Me: Awakening Dreams.” Lately, though, my thoughts have been clouded and focused on sci-fi short stories instead. My goal is to finish this poetry book by summer so that I can fully dedicate myself to the short stories. This poem, ”Bound,” is from my previous book Inspire Me Series: Book 1 & 2 and is a glimpse into  my upcoming collection.
