Four Seasons Growing Inside Me

2007

I started taking a liking to poetry and alternative lit when I was 12, I was in a deep deep hole of sadness and I felt like I needed to find a pretty way of showing my parents I didn't really want to be in the world anymore.

Anyway, I found a piece of paper, a poem I wrote dated back to 2007

It read 'faded lines and healing time, everything will be fine, I will draw new lines on a different canvas, not mine'

Reading this nearly being 20 makes me feel so deeply saddened that my 12 year old self was having such a difficult time and turned to self harm, what a sad world in which we live.
