shoebox | a poetry collection

- welcome

hello.

welcome to a collection of poems written by someone who knows no better way to convey their emotions than in the form of not-quite-rhyme schemes and rambling freeverse.

all of these poems were written by me and belong to me, and i hope no one tries to steal them and pass them off as their own.

many of these poems contain triggering themes, including mentions of suicide/suicidal thoughts, self harm, and the lgbtqia+ community. please proceed with caution and awareness of personal limits.

also to note: this collection spans over a year's worth of my works, and thus it makes sense that i will have improved. i recommend reading the more recent poems if you'd like a measure of my current skill level in writing.

to anyone who reads these, i appreciate you.

and so it begins.
