I'm a poet and a writer from central New York. My work consists of affirmations, quotes and poems of the divine nature. My work tells my story; it conveys each step I’ve taken in my journey towards personal freedom. My books are dedicated to my lovely girlfriend Alaina, who helped me see my worth and grasp the meaning of unconditional love. Growing up, I always felt the call to do something beyond the norm, to follow my heart regardless of what others told me I was. Beneath everything, I find myself called to put out my message, my heart-song. It's very easy to forget that life is completely subject to each individual choice made, and my writings helped me grasp the potential of trusting my true self. For more modern_sooth poetry, follow Matt on Instagram, visit his Amazon author page or check out his spiritual blog.
