I believe it was my 8th or 10th grade year, 2008 or 2010. The drama class at school was putting together the annual Veteran's Day program. I decided to write this poem dedicated to the military and I was asked to read it in the program in front of our entire K12 school and their families as well as the men and women in uniform. Enjoy :)

Blood Orange Periphery

44 parts Ongoing

My suicide had been two years in the making when I decided not to follow through at the last minute. Over the past decade, I've written poems, books, short stories, fanfiction and hundreds of thousands of words, but nothing felt complete. This collection of selected works was meant to be my final offering- the only thing ready for posthumous publication. Blood Orange Periphery includes poems written in the months preceding the end-that-didn't-happen, some of my best teenage scribbles, and journal entries that chronicle the transition from death-planning, to recalibrating life.
