Finding the Way Home
by Fabiola Sully 


BPM: Fabiola at what age or point in life did you unlock your gift for poetry?
I started reading and writing poetry at seventeen and continued through college. It came after taking a Composition and Rhetoric class in high school. In college, I tired to take as many English and poetry classes as I could.


BPM: Does your work offer a glimpse into your philosophy on life?
We have all gone through hurdles and obstacles in life and growing up. They can't be avoided and how we handle them makes us stronger. It can be dealing with with society, and/or growing up in general, pain is pain. No mater how much we avoid the hurdles (young and old) they will be in our way at any given time.


BPM: Introduce us to your latest published work. What style is it?
My book, "Finding the Way Home,"  is a book poems I have written from my college years to 2008.  Most of the poems come from others and my own experiences growing up and dealing with life.  I also deal with emotions I've  experienced.  Most of them are freestyle and I have a way of putting everything out there.


BPM: Does your writing depict the struggles of our people, especially women and young girls?
Women and young girls go through so much growing up dealing with life, and people telling us how to live and act.  I wanted to show that they are not alone in their struggle and others have gone through it.  It's not easy because of the different experiences that will come. However, these situations will make you stronger and allow you to learn more about yourself and your capabilities.


BPM: How can our readers reach you online?

Review for Finding the Way Home  by Fabiola Sully
Poetry, when I think of poetry I think of rhyming words, but opening Finding The Way Home there was something totally different. Stanza by stanza Fabiola tells a quick true life situation that some people may be going through or have been through. This book of poems is like a daily bread that makes you reflect on your day to day life and gives you things to ponder on, about your actions, how you view others and how you sometimes view yourself. I related to a lot of her poems and I enjoyed reading them. Good luck to you Fabiola and stay true to your style of writing.   -- 4.0 Stars on Amazon. Written by Anna Black, AAMBC Reviewer

Finding the Way HomeFear by Fabiola Sully
 
Fear
I know your weaknesses.
I know your doubts.
I know when you're feeling down.
And your pessimistic thoughts.
I have crippled your thought process.

I have made you sulk.
I even broke you down,
Worrying about your insecurities.
I have kept misery within your grasp.
Knowing you're searching for true happiness.
 
I've kept you away from the unknown.
And all the unexperienced.
I've even kept you away from love.
Knowing you won't know how to handle it.
Why deal with something you can't control.
When you can't step to the challenges.

You've tried to get rid of me.
Yeah, I know you fought back.
But I've kept striking.
Once your defenses were down.
Eating your confidence and well-being.

I know one day you will find the courage.
To put me out of my misery,
But when you have those feelings.
Of nervousness, tightness, and heat flashes,
I'll be there.
You know my name.
