"Harrowing memories haunting me, Their thorns won't let me free. I cannot see that I will be an escapee. Though for each harsh drop of pain, My twisting vines are forced to gain, intricate blossoms with chance to bloom." "The Ache of Blooming" is a poetry collection that touches upon various topics, both dark and enlightening throughout a journey of healing and self-discovery. Jumping around misery, hope and healing to show healing is nor linear or easy. May these words evoke raw and real emotions from deep within. © Mattea LeBlanc 2022
