Nonneurotypical Stories

A collection of poems dealing with love, loss, PTSD, disability, ADHD, addiction, depression, suicide ideation, eating disorders, women's rights, processing abuse & trauma, etc. Some are just making intrusive thoughts rhyme, some are just thinking about a situation differently or applying metaphoric meaning to life's little moments. I try to come to some kind of resolution in each poem or reframe my way of thinking by the end of them. A lot of it is pretty dang personal, so...if you know me, no you don't. I started journaling and writing poetry when I was being gaslit a ton in an abusive relationship in college. It was a way to keep track of interactions that I was later told never happened. Now, it's just how I process things. It helps me get it out my system or look at the situation differently. Sometimes I can't sort out my own feelings until I try to write it out. My brain likes to work in way too many metaphors. Thanks for reading! Hope it helps you sort out some feelies, too.
