I wanted a place to put the poetry I write while I'm Working on "The Guardians of Ridgemont", and what better place to keep them than here.
Some of these poems are new, some are old, most are deep (I tend to write poetry on hard topics) and all are personal. These are poems about being young, being a woman, being political, being unpolitical, being anxious, being ruined, being a ruiner. They are abstract takes on very real experiences.
If you can relate, or appreciate, please vote, comment, and share! I'd love to hear from you!

why does falling in love really hurt?? like, i just love! why does it make me so hurt. and then, i realized...
love arrives like a storm
tearing down walls
i didn't know were there
exposing the raw
nerve endings
of my heart
it hurts
because feeling
is terrifying
but the ache
is also the proof
that i am alive
