Mon prénom est Romane, mais tout le monde m'appelle Romy - et je déteste ça. Mais je n'ai jamais osé le dire à personne, parce que... vaut mieux éviter les vagues, non? Un jour tout a basculé. À l'aube de mes 12 ans, je me suis donc retrouvée avec ma petite sœur Iris sur les bras, âgée de quatre ans et bien trop jeune pour tout comprendre ce qui se passait. Un court résumé des années qui suivront: intimidation, désespoir. Et parmi tous ces ténèbres, mes bonnes étoiles m'ont aussi offert l'amitié... et l'amour. Ne parlez pas de moi à quiconque. Je ne veux pas être célèbre, encore moins sur la Toile. ~Romane **Histoire qui s'adresse à un public ADOLESCENT, même si le personnage principal est un enfant - les thèmes abordés (qui viennent PLUS TARD dans l'histoire) sont relativement matures**

I write stories about me, about people I meet, about those I wish I met and about the few I dream of. These are the secrets of my silence, in the form of lyricism and in the shape of verses. The first poems you read might make you laugh (although I have revised them, I've kept their essence, sometimes childish, sometimes passionate, and occasionally moving), but I wanted my work to be as authentic as possible to my teenage years - I haven't revisited them in a long time... I wish to share with the world my ode to youth, to the discovery of literature, and to the power of words. *TW: Some poems state or relate to potentially triggering themes, such as SH, su!c!d3, family v1ol3nc3... Feel free to skip if it makes you uncomfortable. **Most of the poems are originally in English, but there will be a French translation soon. There are also poems originally written in French, translated in English in this poetry book.*

What if you could write a letter to, love, death or time? What would you say? I was asked to write a letter to Love and this is what I had to say.
