You are welcome to share, quote, perform, remix, or build upon my poetry. My work is offered freely—no permission slips, no gatekeeping, no walls around the words. All I ask is that you honor the spirit it was written in: connection, dignity, and the simple belief that art should move without restriction.
Use it in classrooms, conversations, advocacy, healing spaces, creative projects, or anywhere a line might help someone feel less alone. These poems belong to the world now, and I’m grateful when they travel farther than I ever could..
