*Trigger warnings*
Highest ranking: #12 (August 5, 2018)
I started writing poetry as a way to express my feelings and expressions in a healthy way. Poetry was one of the first healthy coping mechanisms I found, and for me, it helps so much. Writing and art has always provided a release and I love sharing it with people.
My inspirations to start writing poems come from Savannah Brown, Robert Frost, and Edgar Allen Poe

Poems for the Broken Hearted #Wattys2017
Heartbreak is one of the most painful experiences this life has to offer. It's an ache that slowly kills your delicate heart. This book is a book of poems and notes from me, the author, to help you. These are sad, these will make you cry, these will remind you of you're pain, of your loss. But I find that being reminded of these things helps you get over them. So if you like poetry and you like reading poetry and relating to heartbroken experiences then read this book. But always remember, it'll get better. It will get better. I promise you this. *****NOTE****** I didn't write all these, most I wrote, some are song lyrics, some are ones from friends, some are ones from the internet. So if you recognize a few then don't get mad. I should also warn you that these passages may trigger you.Complete
Coherence βοΈ
COMPLETED, next poetry collection coming soon This is a poetry collection that is both ever updating and ever changing. This collection of poetry isn't exactly traditional or ever a solid complete piece of prose, I am ever adding and changing and morphing them into something I feel is better or is more to what I feel suits the character or the emotion I wrote the poem to embody. That being said, this collection has some works alike the past one that I made a few years back that doesn't quite hold up to standard today. I have poems that I have remade and moved into this collection, so If you have come from the previous collection know that if you recognise the theme it's because of that. I created this intended as both a challenge to write some feelings into something productive as-well as to write some inspired works made for a character I made as I wrote the poem or for a event or piece of media I enjoyed. Nothing is ever solid or at least their perspective will change as I write the poem or rewrite it. Anyways enjoy, I try not to be too pretentious but I don't really care because again this is a vent piece of work.Complete
