Jevon Simeon says “As I touch the pencil I start to remember I am a writer. I am a Juggernaut. My melanin is the exposition of art itself. I rise with the sun. I am the moon. Im just a Poet that tries to balance the dark and light within me, to find peace within  myself I relinquish this into my poetry as it creates imagery to inspire people to see beauty in themselves. I’m a child of the sea with Caribbean blood running through my veins.
