nothing has felt as warm since

the ghost of you keeps me awake [editor's choice 2021 | poetry] [cover by @qixing]

I long for you. Yet your gaze lingers on another's. Poetry, short stories etc. All owned by my sad sad heart.

My heart overflows . . . in poems. Poetry is painting with words as the colors. Awesome cover by @DazzlingGray.

Watty's 2019 Poetry Winner An LGBTQ+ Poetry Collection, about the good, the bad, and the sad of coming out, dating, and existing as a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I started so small With nothing to say for me at all Just a bird in a world of birds Just a being who has not much to show for themselves I worked hard though Even when everyone else cast me out Threw me out I stayed strong I battled the forces of nature As they came my way I kept going And learned to fly I flew above everyone else And saw what I had become With my wings outstretched I saw who I am; A mockingbird ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Dedicated to Keefe, who supported me when I found myself lost in the midst of my identity~

This is a place to vent my emotions. I post it because I want people feel like they can reach out. I don't post it on here for sympathy. If you do get something from this then I applaud you. It gets better I swear Warning: depressing content

Words that have exhausted the paper in which they sit upon and wish to be embraced by something of a greater cause... You

This is the author's first poem book. There may be some random topics on every chapters which is a bit confusing because mainly this explain about sleep disorders, teenage mood swings, and depression. This poem book contains a lot prose yet left a good inspiration for teens who had been living tough throughout the day. ( any grammatical corrections or structure suggestions are most welcome.)
