An autobiographical poem; speaking of a dancer who does not perform for the audience, she simply cannot resist the temptation. The poem is a carefully adapted metaphor to tell the story of a struggle with self-harm, which is reflected through the use of red imagery etc.. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy.

Diary of an Insomniac [Collection of Poems]
I think the title's pretty self-explanatory. WARNING: May include graphic content, profanity, expressive depictions of negative feelings, romantic references, and, most importantly, triggering content. Where there is possibly triggering content, it's usually followed up by something symbolizing strength and making it past that- but if you don't think you can make it through it, please feel free to skip over that poem or to message me. I'm always willing to talk, and you can probably figure I've been there and I understand.Complete
Bitter Sweet Emotions
Just things I write well I'm not in a very good Place. I thought these aren't half bad. So why don't I share them with other people not only myself? So here we are I hope you like them. Also if some of them are Quotes or Poems you've seen before feel free to tell me, because I never looked anything up just wrote what came to mind. So maybe I wrote a Quote, that has already been thought of, and of course Thank you for even clicking on this worthless, trashy, and utterly pointless book... Side note it gets better at the end of this book. The beginning is 6th grade me (11-12 year old me) so it's pretty fucking terrible, but who gives a fuck anyway? Not Me!Complete
