HI. MY NAME IS TONI NELLI.

​

I AM A NON VERBAL 26 YEAR OLD POET. I WAS BORN THIS WAY AND THERE ARE MANY DAYS I WISH I WASN'T, BUT HAVE TO MAKE SOMETHNG OF MYSELF.

 

I HOPE THIS OUTLET WILL CREATE A PATH FOR ME TO SHARE MY EXISTENCE. MOST OF THE TIME, I AM NOT SEEN, BECAUSE I CAN'T BE HEARD. I HAVE HAVE HAD TO RELY ON AN INNER WORLD THAT MOST DON'T KNOW EXISTS. IN MY SILENCE, I HAVE BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD AND DISREGARDED.

​

I HOPE TO SPREAD AWARENESS. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS LIKE ME WHO NEED TO BE SEEN. WHAT YOU TAKE IN ON THE SURFACE IS NOT ALWAYS THE TRUTH. I ALWAYS LIVED BELOW THE SURFACE. IT HAS KEPT ME SANE.

​

I HOPE MY TRUTH HELPS YOU UNLOCK YOURS.
