Hello my name is Shari Figroid. I have been writing poetry my whole life. My poems were actually never intended for public viewing. But with the suggestion of a special friend it is time to release these thoughts and feelings. I hope that people can relate and unleash some of their own hidden feelings. Knowing Me Copyright April 8-2007 Springing off the platform for my very first dive I stop to see the water I look into the bottom of the pool On the surface it looks bottomless As I reach to take my breath of air before I reach the bottom of the pool. I realize I have crossed my fear There is no longer an unknown It is my destiny To do the unthinkable To do the unknown To travel the uncharter lands of the sea To be a part of this world You cannot restrict me to do what only u want me to do You see i am now me........ You see I now know me...... (My unspoken lyrics written by Shari Figroid)
