Poetry is a way to relate to the world. Its ability to distill complex emotions into a few carefully chosen words is something I find so deep and special. I have been reading poetry ever since I'm a teenager but until I wrote my own, I could not fully relate to words that I have read. Now, when I find myself overwhelmed by feelings - whatever they may be - I write. A lot. And I use my poetry as a mirror. It reflects on what I struggle to say. Instead of speaking up out loud because some things are better left unsaid or you're showing a vulnerable side of yourself, I write my feelings on paper. And I arrange these words into poems. The inspiration behind these poems are all personal experiences I went through. We all live different lives, but we all live the same emotions on different scales. Through my poetry, I have learned to embrace my feelings and let go of things and in doing so,I find a sense of healing. I hope you, the reader, can feel comforted through my words, knowing you are not alone. Trapped in my mind is a collection of poetry cut into eight parts, each representing a different topic. It is about anxiety, depression, loneliness, anger, friendships, healing, wonder and hope. ❤️‍🩹✨️🌻
