Poetry

Introduction

Hello , I'm Amber .  I love poetry and since discovering spoken word poetry when I was 14 I've been in love with it. 

I warn now these poems have a trigger warning , When I wrote these poems I was in a horrible place , I was quite mentally ill,  although I didn't really realise the extent of it until I became better. I was deeply suicidal and some of these poems express that as I do not want to hide parts of my past . The poem Heartbreak was written during my lowest point . But a message I would love to spread through this collection of poems is that it does get better . I've only just began to notice how much better I've gotten , through talking to professionals and finding true love .
Of course I'm not completely better and I probably never will be fully healed but I'm no longer broken and I'm getting back on top :)

I'm not very confident filming myself and such so I posted my poems here in the hopes some people may just enjoy the words themselves . If enough people like what I have to say perhaps I will attach videos of me performing them and speaking the words how I intended them to be heard. 

But I am not ashamed of my past and if any one reading this is struggling with mental illness do not hesitate to ask . Even if you are just curious to know what was/still is wrong with me or just a little advice for a friend or something I will try my best to help you :)

I really hope you enjoy these poems as much as I enjoyed writing them and I hope you like this glimpse into my life
