If I looked at the clock in my living room and stopped the time
right now, would it all be worth it?
It wouldn't, because then I wouldn't be able to tell my story
to you. These words would just be gnawing at my brain
as I lay in a state of lifelessness.
This is for you.
This poetry book is about the struggles of heartbreak, and not the romantic kind. It's about the kind that cuts deeper than that. It's about the loss of friendship. This poetry book is about coping with being alone, with finding yourself in places and situations you never thought you would find yourself in. From losing a lifetime friend, to being in a mental hospital, I am here to write and pass on my tale to you in hopes that you may relate and know that you are not alone.

Anatomy of the Soul
This is me-no filters, no edits, just my soul laid bare in words. Anatomy of the Soul isn't just a collection of poems. It's my way of reaching out when words feel like the only thing I have to give. Here you'll find love and heartbreak, but also the messy, loud, quiet parts of life that don't always get talked about. Social truths, personal struggles, little moments of hope-everything tangled together. This is my art, my ritual, my offering. A place where I explore not just the world around me, but the world inside me. If you decide to step inside, I hope you find something that speaks to your own soul-maybe even gives you a voice for things you've never said out loud. This is poetry for the heart, for change, for us. In the past, my poetry was a way to explore and experiment-sometimes searching for connection, sometimes just trying to understand myself better. Now, with Anatomy of the Soul, it's different. This is my space to be completely honest, to share what I couldn't say out loud, and to write for myself first. Whether these poems find readers or not, they are pieces of my soul I needed to release. And if you do find yourself here, I hope these words bring you comfort, a sense of understanding, and the quiet company of someone who feels like you. This is my truth, my voice, my gift.
All The Signs That Lead Us Here!Depressed State Of Mind Part 2;
All of the signs that lead us here! Depressed State of Mind Part 2 It's poetic and symbolic all of the signs that lead us here! In a moment in time that you can only see in the past tense of life. Like destiny it was meant to happen. It's poetic and symbolic how even though I read you that letter trying to save my marriage to him in the hospital it was you that ended up saving me in the end. It's poetic and symbolic how in spite of a world wide pandemic and lock down we always found each other and healed each others sadness. It wasn't my sobriety that I was scared to lose. It was ruining the friendship and not having it mean a thing to you!Complete

Broken
Have you ever wondered what goes on inside of the mind of a truly broken soul? The mind of a person with severe mental disorders. The one who smiles on the outside but is really dying within. The one that always appears happy. The person that you'd never guess was suffering every single day. Have you ever questioned what could break a person so badly? Have you ever wanted to get inside the mind of that person? This poetry is mine. This is me, opening my damaged mind to be discovered. Inside you'll find the raw emotions of a truly broken soul.Complete

Poems for the Broken Hearted #Wattys2017
Heartbreak is one of the most painful experiences this life has to offer. It's an ache that slowly kills your delicate heart. This book is a book of poems and notes from me, the author, to help you. These are sad, these will make you cry, these will remind you of you're pain, of your loss. But I find that being reminded of these things helps you get over them. So if you like poetry and you like reading poetry and relating to heartbroken experiences then read this book. But always remember, it'll get better. It will get better. I promise you this. *****NOTE****** I didn't write all these, most I wrote, some are song lyrics, some are ones from friends, some are ones from the internet. So if you recognize a few then don't get mad. I should also warn you that these passages may trigger you.Complete
