Poems (collection 1.0)
please don't read this (i laugh here, but i'm not joking). this is a relic. consider this the museum of my progression in writing. you can find the better (marginally) stuff from this one in "Poems (collection 2.0)". Thoughtful, often sad, and angry poems. It's an outlet. A way to be heard. Not genius; only jumbled messes of the multitude of my thoughts fighting their way out of my brain. There's so much I want to say, but not enough time to say it. Here are my attempts.Complete

Along the way she meets strangers who change her path, faces her own hidden desires, and slowly turns her private pain into stories that reach the world under the name Miss Zero. What begins as a simple search for an idol becomes a deeper search for herself.
