A young writer's newly released first collection of poems. Written during the tumultuous and at times troubling years of high school and the more forgiving and enlightening years of college, Maddy Kobar captures what it was like to have come of age in the last few years. These poems touch on personal levels with hope and hopelessness amid the most confusing years of one's life as well as some of the larger issues facing our society- such as women's rights, LGBTQ equality and the fragile state of the environment.

The poems are broken up into four categories; Love and Disappointment, At Desperation's Door, Voices That Speak for Themselves, and Life's Lies Unveiled (or Truths that must be told).

This collection was originally released on Amazon in Summer 2013. I honestly want more reads and reviews on ALL my writing so I'm going to re-release this collection as a 2nd edition now for Wattpad. This edition may have differences from the 1st edition. 

I'm not partial to poetry any more. The quality varies between the poems. I wrote them all between the ages of 14 and 20.

Paris Wills is a dreamer. His father always said he got it from his mom, an artist who was unlike any other. Her virtue was painting, and Paris' is poetry. No matter where he is, Paris finds inspiration for his poems. In the summer after his sophomore year of high school, Paris finds his biggest inspiration yet, one to overshadow his mom's untimely death. Paris has met Grayson Pierce, the new boy next door, who is not only friendly but also incredibly cute. With his blond waves and charismatic smile, Grayson has found a new place in Paris' heart. Still, Paris cannot help but wonder if his budding love for Grayson is merely one-sided. For now, Grayson's only friend is Paris. Yet, when school starts again after the summer, will he stick around? In order to ensure that Grayson stays, Paris must make one of the most difficult choices of his life. Should he play it safe and ignore his romantic feelings or take a chance and let himself bathe in color? 💕 Featured on @BACommunity "LGBTQ+" reading list. 💕 Featured on @BullyingPrevention "LGBTQIAP+ Pride" reading list. 💕 Featured on @ComeAndSitWithUs "#LGBTQIAP+ - I am who I am" reading list. 💕 Featured on @cupid "Love Conquers All" reading list. 💕 Featured on @CupidsBookClub "Eros" reading list. 💕 Featured on @CupidsBookClub "Cupid's Arrow (Summer 2020 Edition)". 💕 Featured on @FreeTheLGBT "Coming of Age" reading list. 💕 Featured on @Romance "Young Love" reading list. 💕 Featured on @YA "Love, Actually" reading list. 💕 #1 in poem (out of 151K stories). 💕 #1 in gaycharacters (out of 229 stories). 💕 #3 in teenager (out of 33.1K stories). 💕 #3 in cupid (out of 3.2K stories). ⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ This story depicts loss, grief, drug addiction, depression, and suicide.

This is a personal documentation through poetry. I am learning to look inward now, give myself love when I least want to. I do not live to love others, I live to love myself. I will find and create what is enough for me, and you will learn to let it be enough for you. 2022
