words, thoughts, poems, letters, anything and everything. all the things i've been holding on to for too long.

Killing Father & Other Demons is my second poetry collection and if I'm being honest, my best written one. Killing Father & Other Demons holds poems that are deep and dark, explaining the life of a gay teen struggling to just be. The book touches on themes like suicide, mental health, depression and more. ---------------------+------------------------+------------------------ I will not lie, some nights I close my eyes And dream of not being gay and it's everything I could ever wish for: It's laughing with diamonds in my teeth, It's dancing on everything but ice, It's singing without any friction, It's blasting off into space on a rocket ship with the man I love. Right, even my dreams are gay. Some of the content of this book may be triggering to some of the readers. Content like, suicide, mental health, depression, eating disorders and other similar themes. I advice if these things may trigger you in any way, don't read. ©2020 Uann S. Kingsley

❝My soul skates on thin ice, an unraveling thread that twists and ties itself into a knot to stay inside. It bursts at the seams and rocks my barely there dreams, tugs at my passions, those mere strands that fall off each day. My interests have disappeared into its web- that's where they hide- as my soul tries to reconnect with my body, to my mind... but I think it needs help. Who am I? The body, mind, and soul are connected, and it is up to us to determine how to respect them.❞ - Me These writings are my observations and perspectives, some full of laughter and fun, others painful and dark, suffocating, leaving me with nowhere to run. ✿✿✿✿✿✿✿ A collection of unedited prose I wrote extemporaneously (ages 19-), as well as quotes.

this is a collection of my original poetry, and I hope you enjoy. I explore the themes of belonging, LGBTQ+, longing, and loss. Thank you for giving my writing a read and a chance :).

#21 book in Poetry out of 275,000k 🙈🙉🙊 💌 Wattpad featured book. 💌 ✏ *It's a tiptoe in my world when you're not around. You are my balance.* A collection of emotional words stringed together by broken hearts, friendly smiles, new love, familiar love, and pillow thoughts. 💞 Dedicated to the lovers who dare to dream, even after their hearts have been torn at their seams. You dare to love and because of that, you dare to heal the world. It's safe in this area where my head is close to your heart where love is within a step It's safe this raising of my arm to your face this holding me in your embrace, lacking words like haste on our tongue-tied tongues Is it safe our attempt at honesty? This trying to reveal myself to you wholly? I fear you might know me further if you unearth another casket from your past. I fear I might call it love. Love heals your heart HATE HITS YOUR HEART Love mends what hate tears apart Love is a healthy meal and hate is a cancer Hate is the father of monsters a bloody barbarian gangster "I love most things that are bitter-sweet, but not everything." "What about the bees honey and their sting?" "They're too little and so are their wings." "Don't you think small things can make an impact big?" "I think small things are like a misunderstanding."   You're a reflection of my mother's expectations and that is big but you have my heart which is very small and you have it all. "Your heart is bitter-sweet but don't confuse it with other things your heart is my everything and I am nothing without it.
