A collection of poems •A Frostbitten Rose: Sometimes, we're lonely and want nothing more than someone else to shower us with love and affection. Not all of us have that luxury, and we let it get the best of us. Whether we're healing from a past break up or just want somebody to love, loneliness can hurt. Sometimes a storm appears above us, showing us with negative thoughts, but it's our job as humans to get through it, even if we don't think we have the proper companionship we deserve. We cannot always rely on someone to make us happy. Instead, we need to look at things from an optimistic angle and see what's truly important in life. •Storms of Reality: Our reality consists of what is present in our daily lives, and when we lose somebody we love, a part of your reality is gone. Thoughts whirl in your mind in a disastrous tornado, and you tears form into a storm which release on you. But through these dark times, there's always the light that may be out of sight today, but maybe not tomorrow. It's important to keep fighting for the sake of yourself. And it's okay to seek help, because someone will find you, and they'll help you. And one day, you'll be thinking to yourself, happy that you've overcome the obstacle to become a stronger person.
