A small book made up of poetry I've written throughout the years ~ 20+ years ~
I'll be adding them as I find them, since I didn't get them all typed up like I'd wanted, and I'm being lazy about getting them up as I keep bouncing from project to project.
Most were written while still in my teens and going through a lot, aside from the normal teenage woes of school and social life, or lack thereof. There were many that were never finished, and just as many that never got dated.
~~Quite a few did have dates, I'll be going through at some point and putting those in
~ They're in no kind of order, but any new material will be at the bottom unless I shuffle things around

hi, it's me clara again and this time around i've decided to head forwards a new route in my songwriting- possibly a side of my songwriting you've never seen. you've probably read my heartbreak songs, and that's great, but i've moved on to a new chapter of my songwriting and there's truly nothing like this.
i feel like i've begun again, but at the same time i'm going back to the basics. just know this feelings not rare, and i'm still figuring out this coming of age. it's all coming down like the aglow shore of the waterfall, whilst the moonlight reflects their light across. i'm not even trying to be poetic rn, i'm just simply referencing songs that you'll soon see and i'm so excited!!
i really do hope you'll enjoy these, just like you enjoyed 'sweet misery'?! i've come a long way since then and there's so much new songs to come!
