These are a few poems that I have written for the book I am writing. They are all the poems I've written from age 13-19. They are about heartbreak, abuse, mental health, and even eating disorders. It's my dream to inspire anybody, young or old, to never give up on who they are, or what they want to do or be in life. Because our stories are worth telling. But a trigger warning because it does talk about sensitive topics that are mentioned before hand. I do not want my story to risk anybody's well being.
A collection of poems and song lyrics. All original. Some prompted through in-class assignments
most of these were written from 13-16 years old during a time that I lived in my own mind. I wanted to live in a fantastical version of my reality to avoid trauma. Some of these poems romanticize my harmful coping mechanisms, because that's what I did at that time.
My views & my mind have changed. Read with caution. Be gentle. You're entering a teenager's mind.
