Hey there, I’m Karissa!

I’ve been in the world of poetry and lyric writing since the year 2000. Writing has always been my way of self-expression, and this blog is my way of documenting my progress and growth.

Join me as I aim to stay true to my voice and showcase my poetic journey. I want to offer you a glimpse into my world of words.

You can find some of my earlier work on my first blog.

Despite my stage fright, I’ve mustered up the courage to read my poetry at open mics. You’ll often spot me with my notebook hiding my face, but I still love to share my words with others.

I have a video category where you can catch more of my readings. And if you want to keep up with my life, check out my personal category for annual updates!

I can’t stress enough how much music inspires me. It’s truly the fuel for my creative fire. People often wonder how I can love both Taylor Swift and Sleep Token. I’m a writer! Have you read their lyrics? You can find my current favorites and musical influences on my Spotify On Repeat playlist:
