a histrionic amalgamation of poems & proses in letters by a sapient gen z claiming to be an activist, aspiring for teenage rebellion and boosting cognizance through poetry, something she's kinda good at.

this book contains descriptions of heavy topics. if topics like rape, mental illnesses, racism, homophobia, etc. are triggering, i suggest proceeding with caution or just clicking off this book.

no hate in the comment section. i do encourage healthy arguments, as long as everyone isn't spitting insults at each other. with healthy debates only we can overcome the wrong and broaden mindsets. if you disagree with any parts of my discussions, do elaborate as to why you do. we might be able to have a healthy discussion, and i might change my view or you might.

i'm still learning. i'm young, so i'm still educating myself as much as possible, just like others. so if any of my discussions or opinions are harmful or wrong, educate me kindly. i'm open to criticism. however, being rude towards me isn't gonna benefit me nor you. any bigoted hate towards anyone will be deleted and reported.  *in other words, i'm sensitive*

thanks to @idgafology for the fantastic cover!

the /slashes/ in the poems serve no real purpose and are just there for the aesthetic.

i recommend reading in the dark mode because again, aesthetic.

i might take the book down anytime because i'm impulsive and might suddenly hate my stuff.

sporadic updates because i can only write when i'm emotional, filled w/ coffee & inspired by rebellion.

i usually read other people's poetry as an inspiration and sometimes might end up using their lines because they're stuck in my head. if you see any of your lines in my poetry, message me and i'll edit it out asap. i don't intend to steal anyone's work, sometimes it just happens. just message me & i'll take it down.

similarly, if anyone reads my stuff for inspiration, it's cool and i don't mind if here & there you use my lines by mistake. just don't blatantly copy my stuff, that's rude. @ me & let me know beforehand if you're using my lines as a quote or something in your books.

you can check out my spam book if you want because many of my poems have stories behind them [how i wrote them, what inspired it, etc.].
