Poems...

Authors Note

I entered this book into a contest, and I am pretty nervous to hear what people think about this book. I know I shouldn't be nervous, because this book has been more of an outlet for me but sometimes I feel ashamed for everything I have been through and I know I shouldn't feel that way. 

I wanted to thank everyone for adding this book to your reading list, voting and the comments. I really do appreciate them and it helps me feel like maybe my work is not all that bad.

 I've been through some really shitty shit - excuse my language. And I am horrible opening up to people because of it. 

I sometimes hear from people I know even after years of knowing me that they don't know much about me, I am a very private person because of my past and it's something that I have been working on.

Here's a few fun facts about me: 

1. One of my legs is longer then the other, I almost had to get surgery because of it. (weird, right?) 

2. Back in elementary school I hung out with this group of kids who were placed in this classroom for people with disabilities. I use to sneak out of my own class and hang out with them. (I was a rebel even that young haha.) They were the greatest people I ever had privileged being friends with and meeting, I think of them everyday. 

3. I suffer from mental illnesses, it's a struggle I deal with on a daily.  I got put on meds for it when I was eleven, but I have seen so many therapists over the years, I also even went to ones when I was five due to the situation I was in. 

4. As you can probably tell from my poems, I lost my mom when I was younger. I used to blame myself for her death, and so I pushed a lot of people away because in my warped younger brain I thought that I would kill them too if I loved them, or that they would leave me just like my parents did. 

5. My favorite colors are lime green and black. My favorite animal is a dolphin and I feel like dolphins are also my spirit animals.  I get really quiet sometimes but I also have crack head energy a lot and it's a lot to deal with haha. I'm almost fully Italian but don't speak the language even though I always wanted to learn. I'm from Massachusetts in the United States. I have a gift of choosing the wrong men to date - literally. 

Let's here a few of your fun facts? 

Have a good day/night, sending good vibes your way!
Thanks again!
