It's always been just me and Mum. Never anyone else. The day starts of normal driving to my netball game. We're late and mums speeding a bit, and then it goes black. What's happening? Where am I?

a love that isn't mine

"Poetry is the truest echo of emotion-less raw than the feeling itself, yet closer to it, than speech, prose or anything but silence" Stanzas of Heart is a collection of poems written in chaos, stained with tears of both joy and sorrow, and stitched together by love, loss, healing, hope-and everything in between. Most of these poems were born from memory, silence, and all the words I wanted to say but couldn't. If you've ever sat with your thoughts and felt them turn into words-words you could never say out loud-then this book is for you. I hope you'll like it.
