A collection of poems about my battle fighting mental health, society/social standards, and surviving trauma. Broken up into three subsections (mental/social/physical)
Subject matter is mature, and frankly difficult for some readers. Please feel free to take breaks or skip chapters that hit close home. Remember there is hope, and if you ever feel close to the edge the national suicide hotline number is 1-800-273-8255

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

Shadow Avenue (Complete Edition)
Shadow Avenue (Complete Edition) is a collection of poetry/songs I wrote as a young adult. The collection covers a variety of strong topics including some political viewpoints, depression, mental health, love, overcoming obstacles, and much more. The original collection debuted on my Tumblr sometime approximately around 2015-2016. It has since moved over to my personal website and has now migrated its way over to Wattpad. I am proud to be able to share this with the world. WARNING: The content contained herein may not necessarily be suitable for younger or more sensitive audiences! Caution is advised as the poetry contains strong language, references, and suggestive content.Complete
Not Just Words...
Not Just Words... is more than a collection of poetry...it's a raw, unfiltered journey through the landscapes of mental health, vulnerability, and resilience. Blending powerful verses with personal reflections, this book dives deep into the experiences of depression, anxiety, and the quiet battles we all fight within. For anyone who has ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or broken, these poems serve as a voice when words fail. They are a friend for the moments when life feels too heavy, and a source of hope for those searching for light in the darkness. Through every verse, I confront the shadows that have haunted me and, in doing so, invite you to reflect on your own struggles. The emotions here are real...sometimes painful, sometimes healing, but always genuine. This book isn't just a window into my soul...it's an invitation to face your own inner battles, to feel seen, and maybe even understood. How do you describe what it feels like to be human, to hurt, to heal? Maybe you don't. Maybe the words within these pages will do that for you. Not Just Words... is for anyone seeking connection, comfort, and the reassurance that they're not alone.
The Words I couldn't Say
This is a place for me to put all the things I wish I said but I just couldn't. These are a way for me to "say" these things without actually saying them to the person I want to. I probably won't ever go back or read any of these because it's like revisiting a bad memory so don't expect much in terms of editing. Also I wouldn't consider this poetry but it is laid out that way. WARNING Talk of depression, suicide, anxiety, and self harm. Don't read if you don't like things like that and may get triggered. I don't mean to cause anyone problems of any sort, but these are the things I feel and can't help. Please keep negativity away as this is a sensitive subject for a lot of people. Thank you.
