I struggled through my younger years with mental and physical abuse, depression, and finding myself. I was the pretty girl at school, who was everybodys friend, and made everybody laugh. I seemed like a normal kid, polite and happy. Inside I was dying. I found in my silent pain a place for words in my writing. A place I could Express myself. As you read these poems you will see a shifting between innocent exploration into despair... I share with you the ashes of my past. A collection of writtings and poetry from a young tormented girl as she found comfort somewhere between brush strokes and ink.

People say it will get better. But to be fair, most of them never were in your place. They say you will get happy again, but how can they know? I've struggled with trauma, mental illnesses, and self harm for many years. These are (mostly) poems - about me and my journey of getting better. ! As this is about self harm and other previously mentioned topics, it might be triggering. I don't glorify it in any way, though. I'm also not a native English speaker. If you find any mistakes, please tell me so I can improve.
