Through her poetry people changed their perspective
Devonetia Amelia Michels is a young female that was born in Macassar but residing in Eerste River, Cape Town. She is a 19 years old and was adopted at the age of four by her aunt and uncle who she grew up with as her parents. Due to things that happened she had an identity crises, but she is grateful towards God for leading the way. As young as she is, with the world underneath her feet, she stands bold in whatever life throw at her. Writing and performing poetry has always been one of her greatest passions.
She started writing poetry in Grade 10, but it never evolved that it was a passion for her to write, she only noticed later that it was a talent and she can use her poetry to make something of herself. She says what inspired her is that it is relevant and relatable such as a certain situation or circumstances and than she feels to write about it. When she gets a introduction than you use it to write a poem. She does not write so that her words make sense, she freestyle. In school when she had to write an essay it turns into poetry and writes short stories and than turn them into poetry.
She could never really write long sentences but only poems. Last year she started to write a book but she did not complete it because she wrote short sentences but she wants to complete her book. She genuinely shares her life's turmoil, happiness and dreams through poetry as it gives healing to many unanswered questions. She learned where you come from does not say where you are going, but it is just a stepping stone to a brighter future. She believes through her poetry people changed their perspective that one can be successful from writing poetry. She uses criticism to improve her craft and art, she believes criticism makes you stronger as a person and an individual. She has a bilingual poetry book out right now and you can get your copy of this beautiful poetry book or would like to invite her to events to perform poetry, you can email michelsdevontia1@gmail.com
