BLACK WOMAN BOTH HARD & SOFT

THIS IS A POETRY BOOK SHARING THE STORY OF A BLACK WOMAN COMING INTO HERSELF AND CHOOSING TO RELEARN WHO SHE IS AND WHAT SHE KNOWS OF BEING FIRST HUMAN, THEN WOMAN, THEN LOVER.

IN THE MIDST OF LOVING OTHERS SOMETIMES WE FORGET TO LOVE OURSELVES AND POUR BACK INTO WHO WE ARE. THAT SOMETIMES LOOKS LIKE HEART BREAK, SECOND GUESSING AND FORGETTING THE BEAUTY IN EXISTING. IN THIS BOOK I AM SHOWING YOU THE SHATTERING THAT HAPPENS, THE TEARS THAT COME WITH IT AND PERSONAL STRUGGLES THAT MAKE LOVE FOR SOME PEOPLE SO MUCH MORE ABUNDANT IN ITS ABSENCE. IN THE END YOU WILL SEE ME LEARNING, CREATING AND FORGIVING MYSELF.

I AM T. L. GREEN BORN AND RAISED IN DAYTON, OH. I LOVE POETRY, MUSIC & BOOKS OF ALL GENRES. I AM A WRITER, HOPEFULLY THOSE WORDS MEAN SOMETHING TO YOU BY THEN END OF THIS BOOK.
