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.

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.
