"It is simple, I am not abundantly brilliant
I am simply brilliant,
there is quite a difference."
A poetry collection about the everyday thoughts, emotions, random and deliberate occurences of an average poet. The kind of poetry collection where you will find love, heartbreak, immigration, hunger, boredom, desire and plain absurdity. That is the thing about poets. They make the ordinary sound extraordinary.

Broken
Have you ever wondered what goes on inside of the mind of a truly broken soul? The mind of a person with severe mental disorders. The one who smiles on the outside but is really dying within. The one that always appears happy. The person that you'd never guess was suffering every single day. Have you ever questioned what could break a person so badly? Have you ever wanted to get inside the mind of that person? This poetry is mine. This is me, opening my damaged mind to be discovered. Inside you'll find the raw emotions of a truly broken soul.Complete
Pandora's Box
A collection of poetry inspired by everyday life, love, pain and heartbreak. Basically my thoughts and reflections. Each poem, a reflection of either the words in my heart, the words in my mind, or the words on my tongue. Almost always though, they'll be the words that I want in the air around me. Highest Rank: #53 in poetry! [5/25/2017] Special recognition goes out to: TheCrownOfWinter, CatQueen2020, uhm1212, iamdivergent1abc, simplysear, and pettyhearts. They've been as much a part of this book with their comments and inspiration as the everyday life that influenced it. Trigger Warning: Poems may or may not be depressing, and highly metaphorical.Complete
