at the beginning of this year, my creative writing teacher gave us a prompt to write a poem about drowning. it was very hard. i realized that i feel like im drowning almost every single second of every day. not just in sadness, but in feeling. joy, anger, numbness, every single one. i realized that as a person with not only anxiety but also an abundance of empathy, it is easy to let your emotions consume you, and, well, drown you. this has been an overarching theme in almost all of my poems since then, and these works are the closest thing ive got to a life jacket. i hope you enjoy.

MY BRAIN (poetry)
As a person who overthinks all the time my mind flows with my most precious thoughts, always seeking to create everlasting essays that shape me. There's beauty in honesty, and that's what I want to bring to every piece. I read each of my thoughts as poems. Read however you my feel the words should be read. My mind is an everlasting poem. Here are some honest thoughts from my mind and some of my favorite things. BY: PEOPLEREADTOOComplete

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
Thursday
The depths of my mind and dialogue of it all. My thoughts. My fakeness. My lies. My confessions. My Raw mental conversations. My weakness. My complicated life. The nonsense that creeps up in my head when I'm thinking. There is no need to understand. There is no need to feel pity. This is Thursday.
