This anthology is a mixture between storytelling and poetry. When I write my work, I have the intentions of making people uncomfortable, forcing them to think and reflect upon themselves. This is not going to be your usual poetry collection. In the beginning, I slide a little into some dark humor but after the sixth chapter or so..I really go all in.

Sneak peek:

Why so aggressive sweetie? Do you have a problem with me? If you do, I don't know why because I haven't done anything. Why so sarcastic sweetie? Do you lack emotion? Is it why you have a blank face even in the morning? Leave me be miss. I'd like to continue to be independent. Then I won't have to depend on you and your selfish lies. Give me space honey. I don't wanna blow up on you. After everything mean you've said and done to me...

I wake up from zoning out throughout her rebuttal. Her tone. Her words.

I think to myself about when she'll ever stop and I wait for what seems to be forever. It would be nice to cut her off and say what's on my mind. But I stop myself from thinking of that reaction and I give her what she assumed I would do. I hold everything in and walk away after she ends.

She thinks that she's hurting me and in some ways she is..but I'm hurting her more by making her think that she is all-powerful when she is not. One day she'll learn but sadly, I'm not the person assigned to teach her.
