The English teacher in me loves poetry and adores National Poetry Month. The friend of Angie Lewis in me loves this woman. The human being with a soul in me loves everything about what Angie had to say in her poem.
I cried from beginning to end. I cried afterward. I cried thinking about it hours later. This hit the very core of me. I imagine it might do the same for you.
"Let Me Be" by Angie Lewis
Angie has but this one video on YouTube as of this date. Subscribe to her, though, because what is to come will surely be just as moving.
Angie is a musician, poet, Africanist, and aspiring activist who is ready to put to use what she has learned - through experience and throughout school - in the real world.
