The Olive Tree

People's lives move in many different directions. Sometimes we need to fold back into ourselves in order to deal with the changes in our own lives. Poetry is a way for humanity to describe its faults, its flaws, and its mortal beauty. The Olive Tree is a collection of poems made from my own discoveries. They are not perfect, as expected, but I believe that they portray the struggles and passions of the human race, and how my own identity (although hidden in the text itself) plays a part. Enjoy these poems, and remember that all writing, whether poetry or prose, contains the heart of the writer.

Know me
"Life is but a calling card. A chance, a spiraling sensation of nothing, that with time turns into everything." Know me is a short story. A piece of life written just as it was lived. All of our experiences help us grow along the years. Life never stops, our minds either. Its chaos, and this book treats it as so. There is no specific order to life's events. So, with whatever hand we are dealt, we march on. We learn about ourselves, how we love, how our minds work. We doubt everything. We question our existence in this piece of dirt. We seek purpose in everything we do. Only to find out that maybe life takes the shape we give it. I hope these words take the shape of anything you need.Complete

Misery Needs Company

The Age Of Aquarius: Awakening My Emotions Through Poetry
This is a collection of pieces that tell the story of how I came to embrace ALL of my emotions through poetry and discover my true authentic self. It's based in core human emotions as well as influenced by the stages of grief as I grieve the death of the cold and angry self, and embrace the birth of the new, emotional self. Also influenced by a bunch of music. I am a first generation Palestinian woman who writes about all things good Arab girls shouldn't be doing and I don't care. Read me like a book. Hope ya'll like it and can relate!Complete
