taken from the preface:
this is a collection of poems and random thoughts/ideas that come to my mind randomly.
some of these are from my darkest hours when im to paralyzed with anxiety to move and i row out to the most isolated island in the world, lay in puddles of tar, and set the world around me (and inside me) ablaze.
some are from better times, when the sun shines in the special little way so that the rays go right through your window and leave light yellow stains on just the right parts of your room so you lay on your bed and dangle your arms off to the side, letting the warmth kiss every inch of exposed skin. these days are my favorite.
and some are just from normal days, boring days, in this teenage suburbia i have taken residency in for the last few years.
this project was mainly for myself; to document my words and thoughts and emotions during certain times in my life but i thought if my words could somehow possibly maybe provide solace or comfort to some other teenager on their laptop or phone in their own personalized teenage suburbia, why not.
so with that being said, i guess we are now linked arm and arm; writer and reader, trying to help each other get through this battle of being young.
