❝ Let us dive in deep, past our smiling reflections. ❞ This is a collection of my occasional forays into poetry, mostly revolving around themes of duality, identity and connection (to others or ourselves), but told through different and even unusual perspectives. A lot of these pieces were written for prompts, which will be specified at the beginning of each respective poem, so you can also use this as a prompt book and write your own interpretations of them (feel free to message me a link if you do!). ____________________________________________ 🏅 Winner of the "Best Poetry Collection" Category | Ashes And Ink-Poetry Contest 2025 🏅 Winner of the "Poetry" Category | The Crescent Awards 2025 🏅 Round 3 Qualifier in the "Poetry" Category | AMBYS 2025

But desire and possibility rarely align. Their story rekindles with the unlikeliest of incidents: The Goo goo dolls, a questionable performance, and a swingset under the night sky. -Love, An Average Guy
