Welcome to Root Of Poetry! My name is Alexander Zabalza, and I’ve been writing poetry since I was 10 years old. Most of the poems I wrote back then are gone with time, but to be honest, they were probably just thoughts of a broken kid who didn’t know how to write poems. However, writing was the only thing that helped me express my feelings.
The poems I’ve written over the years can be cataloged into three different parts of my life, each showing where I was in my mental health when I wrote them. This includes poems written for important people who crossed my path during that time. As you read my poetry, you may notice the hatred I had for myself, but over time, I started to recognize my own truth and that I needed to start fixing myself.
Other than writing poetry and blogs about my journey to finding my own happiness, I’m a Union pipe fitter in Alaska. I love to hike, go camping, and go on random midnight car drives. In my free time, I read, write my next poems, and work on a project that, if it goes as planned, could feed the people who go to space.
I created this blog to share my poetry and to offer hope to someone who may be going through a similar journey. In addition to hosting my poems, I’ll be blogging about my process of finding my true self and happiness. My main goal is to help someone who is looking for their own happiness, not go through hell and back just to figure it out.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.
