For a teen, fitting in can be hard. And sometimes, you can be yourself in your world. But as a Viking... That's required. How will YOU surpass the extremities and the realities of your sick world? Will you survive, or will you be erased from existence, from the world that never wanted you? Will there be anyone to help you? Anyone?

Poems that I have written about pain, love, fear, heart break, and self discovery. Poetry has always been my place of acceptance. No one there to judge or call me names. No one there to tell me I am wrong or that my emotions are invalid. Some of my poetry is very much about me and others are me putting myself in someone else's shoes. All real, raw, and written by me in my most vulnerable state. For me to share my writing like this is taking a lot of courage but I hope someone out there can find at least one of my poems and somehow find satisfaction in their own life and know they are not alone.

❝it was always you and me; always us against the world. but i only realised that four days after.❞ a story about learning to forgive.
