Thanks for reading Midnight Heartbreak!
I wrote this collection of poems my sophomore year of high school. I originally published them around that time before quickly unpublishing. I then proceeded to polish them up a bit and began to republish them one by one. However, while I was in the process of doing so, I went on a bit of a hiatus. I stopped writing and publishing on Wattpad for an extended span of time.
Now having since graduated, I have returned to Wattpad. Reading over my poems, I was tempted to remove this story altogether. I found myself overwhelmed with feelings of insecurity and discouragement. Had my writing really been that bad all along?
However, I refuse to allow this work to discourage me. I unleashed my heart and soul into this work. I spent hours writing; attempting to put together words powerful enough to convey the pain I was experiencing at the time. I cried numerous times while writing or reading over these poems.
At the time of their creation, I was a child. So of course my writing from years ago does not mirror my current abilities. That is okay. And that is normal. Had my writing from back then been the same caliber as my writing now, that would be worrisome. It would mean that I, as well as my writing, have not changed much since my sophomore year of high school. However, in reality, I have long since grown immensely as a person and a writer. And for that, I am proud.
If you have stuck around from the first poem till now, thank you. If you only read a couple poems here and there, thank you. If you only read one, thank you. And if this is the only part you are reading... thank you? Though I'm sure you would probably even enjoy one of my old poems more than this disorganized and last minute reflection.
Nonetheless, I appreciate all the support. I am attempting to return to writing, and hopefully improve in the process. It will take time. But I hope to eventually release another literary work. I have multiple pieces in progress, however I am not sure if I will continue those or start fresh. Either way, keep your eye out for more of my work!
