"Don't pass out hope like gum, you'll have none left for yourself." This irreverent and fatal blowing poetry is a calling to selflessness and an end to a relationship. All that was left were senseless shreds of hope. #1 (PoetryCollection) 4.3.22 #1 (PoemBook) 4.8.22 #2 (PoeticJustice) 4.12.22 #1 (PoeticJustice) 4.16.22 #18 (poetry) 12.5.22

In this collection, peaches taught me the subtle standards for men across the globe. It taught me to be aware of the peach's lustrous nectar, it taught me to evade having fuzz upon my face, it taught me to be aware of my weight, and it taught me to grow up knowing whether you are either an orange or a peach. From the women on the rocks trying to learn to sing to climbing the ladder following the leader, I have learned that we are all taught a standard, and a variety of rules for our consumers on the outside to perceive. However, I have learned that the more subtle I become on the outside, the easier it is to demonetize me as a follower instead of a leader. The poetry has helped me find a way through the lies I have believed in my family for a long time. I should break this chain, striving for my own and protecting my thoughts, all while sticking true to my heart and following the real paths I am meant to take #23 (poetry) 4.15.22 #14 (prose) 4.17.22 #38 (poetry collection) 4.18.22 #8 (Poetrycollection) 6.1.22 #7 (poetry book) 12.5.22 #40 (poetry) 12.6.22
