Sometimes my voice dies in my throat, buries itself beneath waves of crippling suffocation, burns itself out as cold hands tear at my laced skin. I have smiled while my eyes have cried and pleaded, my wrists numb, my lips wobbling and blue, and stars escaping this dark night that I'm trapped in. I long for a darkness that gives way to light. But I do feel the warmth of petals gathering and scattering in my cold bones, and imagine the touch and the sweetness of a kiss, and my heart rises to the surface of this sea and finds a sky painted by passing artists remaining far above our heads. I'm breathing out all the words I've kept locked under the pages of my breaking mind. And by doing so, I'm going to heal.

100 random rhyming poems is an ongoing book that I started writing as a teenager really struggling with their mental health, and have continued on with through to being an adult. The tones and themes of each poem varies massively, which reflects how my life and mood has changed and gone up and down over the years. A lot are related to mental health, some are like little short stories, some are about love- the point is they're completely random! There is no kind of order to this in the book, when it is finished and I can professionally publish it I will group the poems together by themes in little chapters just to make it a bit easier to read. For now treat each poem as an individual. I update when I can but I'm still in my recovery journey with my mental health so updates will be here and there. All feedback is appreciated. Please don't steal/ use my work without my permission, legal action will be taken against anyone who does this as this book is copyrighted. All poems are original and entirely written by me and me alone. -Cover art isn't mine, it's just an image I found on Google-
