The State Of Blissful Misery
Strong and explicit language. Triggering topics. For mature audience only. Poetry exploring the darker side of the enfactions one crosses. Embracing the malevolence. Let the light slip through you as you enter the world below you. Be unafraid of what it has to offer to you. See the warriors who fight alongside you or slay the ones who rebelled against the one thing that would have saved them. As always, I will be editing the collection every now and then. I am unstoppable. Not even death can rip editing my poetry from my dead hands.

Amore.
This is a series of short stories, poems and thoughts I've written over the years, compiled into this collection. Most of these were written years ago. Some I've written as early as this year (2025). The purpose of this volume is to feel. Feel everything as though you are the main character experiencing each emotion expressed through my writing. These are written through my perspective as a woman, but please let this resonate with you regardless of your identity. Please vote, comment, like and share. Thank you! - nhiamareComplete
