Ruth Jensen

I am a single mother of two amazing kids, and a Mimi (grandma) to also two totally beautiful little girls.

I am born and raised here in Brantford, Ontario, where I am still living.

I was never a popular girl in school, sadly I was the one who always got bullied I was an easy target as I been told...

I kept it all to myself, and sadly the bulling as I got older stayed but then abuse got added on top of the bullying and I was too ashamed to tell anyone. However, after years of going through all this, I end up turning to write my feelings down into pomes the more hurt, angry or sad I was the better my pomes seemed to be, as funny as that may seem its the truth...

So to help me get through the hard times I build up a bunch of pomes... Only a few ever saw them. Then one day my brain had enough and it all became too much for me to handle and I end up having a manager brake down which I was pulled from work cause of it, and so much stuff I had hidden from everyone finally came out plus more, one also being I have a learning disability as well..

People don't understand how I can so easly now tell other I have mental health issues with so much other stuff on top of it all, once it came out there was nothing I could do so why keep hiding it???

Instead what I did was I put a few of my poems together and made up my mind to publish them, not to make money but to show not only my kids but everyone out there that it doesn't matter if you have mental health issues if you have a dream go for it.

I know not everyone loves poetry and my book may not before everyone, but I can truly and honestly tell you what you read in my book of poetry really does come from my Heart which is why I gave my book that name...

This is all new to me, but I just wanted to prove to my kids and others as I said that you can do anything as long as you believe and never give up.

If there is something anyone would like to know about me just ask if it's not too personal I will answer you
