"So tell me, if I told you about my worst, would you still hold me?" 

I lost someone I loved. I do not know how to exist without the pain. here are poems of a life between coping, and pretending I never lost him. but everything will be tainted with that loss. Just saying.

because that loss? it CHANGES who you are.
___
I made myself a promise; from now on, I will write my poetry with so much honesty that it will reach with full ferocity the person it's intended for. And in doing so, it will reach YOU.

because it will be raw, 
honest,
unforgettable. 

if you are here, you were meant to find this. Let's hop on this journey of being honest through our sorrow.

*by the way, I forced myself to write about heartbreak, and loss every day for 30 days, as a way to build discipline in me. I am saying this so that you hold me accountable. shoot me a dm, or a comment, telling me that I'm slacking. dont worry, I WANT to hear it. I need to be more disciplined.*

It's Okay to Use Your Big Girl Voice by Beautiful_Slugger
57 parts Ongoing Mature
Inside you will find a mixture of both, extremely RAW and refreshingly HEALING accounts of my personal war with my past. Unfortunately, Childhood sexual abuse is far too common, and many of share similar experiences. Looking back, what I could have used more than anything was someone to tell me "You're not alone, there is a lightness through the darkness, you can heal from this and most importantly don't EVER stop telling your story to make others comfortable". I've learned that silence is the best weapon for a predator, and I for one, have never been really good at doing what I'm told. I don't intend on starting now. I wear my scar as reminder that I hold the power in my own story, it is mine to tell and I won't make myself sick keeping quiet because my truths are hard to swallow, other people's comfort is not my problem. My Goal is rather simple, to let the readers know, they too are not alone. If you are a survivor, even if you still feel like a victim, this is my personal message to you. "You are strong, and it wasn't your fault. Tell someone... tell anyone...tell everyone... We shift from victims to survivors when we speak up and tell our stories. There's nothing wrong with you, and the light will shine again. The longer you sit in silence the more power your abuser still holds over you, wipe your face warrior, because there's a lion right inside of you, DONT EVER GIVE UP!" *This story is FULL of TRIGGERS, please be careful reading if triggers are hard for you, your mental health matters* *I own all the Rights to all parts of this book*

The Words I couldn't Say

45 parts Complete Mature

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.
