Poetry is an outlet for my emotions, my experiences, my thoughts and opinions - It's been a coping mechanism during the hardest times of my life. It's been a long, trying journey, but it has yet to end. Until then, I'll write until my hands fall off.

Composed Pieces of My Heart (Poetry Collection)
"A soft heart like the pattern of life, beautiful memories to live by..." A collection of pieces of poetry that I composed with my heart over the years. From all about love to heartbreak, to death and grief, and scattered diversities. I'm just one of many or thousands. This isn't just some simple poetry. This is a kaleidoscope of creativity, deep thoughts, wonders, truth, and stray words created into poems, all wrapped into one collection. This is my book of poems; composed pieces of my heart. *Complete, but may add new pieces here and there when new pieces are written or if an old piece I'd written growing up is found, it will be shared.* Award Mentions: *Round 3 Qualifiers Part 2 in the Amby's 2025 Contest*Complete
The Weight We Carry
Every heart holds a story, and every story leaves a weight behind. The Weight We Carry is a living collection - written in real time, in the middle of survival, burnout, healing, and trying again anyway. These poems come from the spaces between responsibilities: grocery aisles, late nights, applications, shifts, side hustles, and the quiet moments when everything finally catches up. This collection explores the ache of memory, the exhaustion of caring too much, the frustration of broken systems, and the complicated reality of choosing to help when it costs you something. There is grief here, and anger, and dark humor. There is healing, but it is not linear. Hope shows up when it can, but it doesn't pretend to fix everything. Through raw, unfiltered verses, The Weight We Carry holds space for the people who keep going without applause - the helpers, the burned out, the ones trying to build something better while still carrying their own survival on their backs. These poems are for anyone who has felt the weight of the world press down and kept moving anyway. Not because it was easy. But because stopping was never really an option.
The Cage
A snippet of poetry from my book. These poems aren't just words, they contain raw pieces of my flesh. They carry stories of my love and the sorrow that came with it. These poems carry the weight that I've been carrying on my breasts for decades. My anxiety, frustration, pain, and the willingness to give up. This playlist will also include themes of violence, trauma, captivity, and deprivation of rights. This playlist is messy. Ranking: #14 in distressed #24 in distrust #53 in poetryComplete

Write to Survive: A Memoir of Loss
Write to Survive is an authentic and vulnerable journey of loss told through an abstract lens of poetry, journal entries, and self reflection. Content warning: This work includes honest reflections on mental illness, depression, suicidal ideation, addiction, trauma, grief, emotional abuse, and loss - both through death and the end of relationships. There are mentions of self-harm, substances, and descriptions of acute emotional distress. While these topics are approached with care and honesty, they are unflinching in their reality.Complete
