I am Rachel Faha, a 28-year-old single mother of two beautiful children whom I love dearly. I am surrounded by family and friends who inspired me to reach for my dream of being a poet. My family and friends have encouraged me to do my very best to be what I wanted to be; without their support I wouldn't be here today. I am currently living in Xenia, Ohio, in an apartment and I have always had the writing bug in my soul, as my grandmother used to say. My hope is that by putting my work out there my poetry will inspire someone else as much as writing the poetry inspired me, and maybe reading the poems will help someone through a rough time.
