Sandpaper is scratchy and rough, and when I thought about my poetry, I realized it's just that. It's rough, it's not the best you've ever seen, but doing this has helped polish not only my writing skills but my own self as well, just as sandpaper polishes wood.
I wrote these poems from around 2014 until 2022. Each reader will take something different out of each piece, whether for the better or worse. This book as a whole is not me entirely, but these poems are small glimpses of my thoughts and experiences over the course of many years. I could've written a journal, or nonfiction, but I just always felt inclined towards poetry. I am an artist and a musician at heart, after all.
But even when the chords aren't played or the songs aren't sung, the passion will always live on.

Poems (:
(Periodic Updates)Poetry isn't just words put together in a certain rhythm or a smooth way; it's the act of putting yourself and emotions into your writing. It's laying back in the middle of a field and staring up at a cloud and finding all the details that make it unique. It's star gazing and asking yourself questions that could never be answered. It's wondering, it's questions, it's emotions, it's senses, it's poetry.. and every single poem has a trace of yourself in it. My goal in my poems is to make people think and believe. Think deeper than what everything seems. Look deeper. Don't just read the cover, read the book. Find out what it has to offer, and hopefully you'll find something relatable that helps encourage you or atleast let you know you're not alone.(:Complete

Amore.
This is a series of short stories, poems and thoughts I've written over the years, compiled into this collection. Most of these were written years ago. Some I've written as early as this year (2025). The purpose of this volume is to feel. Feel everything as though you are the main character experiencing each emotion expressed through my writing. These are written through my perspective as a woman, but please let this resonate with you regardless of your identity. Please vote, comment, like and share. Thank you! - nhiamareComplete

Another take on my poetry. I hope you guys enjoy it. Art doesn't belong to me.
Live Outside
*COMPLETED* Over the years, I'd written many pieces of writing, and shared barely a fraction of them here. As of 2022, I found myself back here again, and in dire need of somewhere to write, and somewhere to share it. This is a collection of poems covering various states of emotion throughout a journey of healing, along with a few of my best from years before. I hope you all enjoy the journey I took through writing all of this.Complete
Just Jenny
Just a glimpse into my mind. Or if you want a better synopsis, read below. I like to type out my feelings into poems with no actual structure. I hope to make you laugh sometime and even cry because I just do. Warning: these come from angsty teenager Jenny. (Formally: Jenny's Poetry, Short Things, Words From A Teenager, Somewhere Over The (Glorified) Rainbow.) The posts are short so it shouldn't take a long time to read. I really did try to use proper grammar. Sometimes. Okay, fine. It's rare-ish.Complete
