Sometimes I wish I had someone who went through exactly what I go through. That way I'd have someone who really, really, truly, actually understood.
But I guess that's pretty impossible, and besides, I have people who are close to really, really, truly, actually understanding me. But my best companion has always been writing. I have written these poems, some very recently, and some a long, long time ago, but when I reread them I can almost feel what it was like (even though some of them are hopelessly cringy).
I want to share these with you, because hopefully, they'll become your companion too. Hopefully, they can at least almost understand you, and hopefully they bring you the inspiration you need to keep it moving in life.
Hopefully, they'll bring you closer to someone who really, really, truly, actually understands you. Because that would be amazing.

He says I'm a hemorrhoid and a massive dark cloud without a silver lining.
I consider him a bosshole and heartless prick--because that's what he is and more.
I've never met my boss. He works only through emails. I was two months in at my new job, when I had to fly to Florida to bury my grandmother. The night of her funeral, an overly hot man approached me while I was in the middle of trying to meet a deadline, wondering if I'd be interested in having a wild night with him.
It had been a couple years since I Iast been with a man. I was pissed at my boss, and he was good looking, so I accepted his offer. Next, I emailed my boss telling him I wasn't making the deadline because I was going to get laid. And I did... lots of it.
The next morning he was gone. Months later, I run into my boss--in the dark--on masquerade night at a sex club. Let's just say we had an interesting moment. After that I wanted to kill him more than I already wanted to.
Weeks later. I had the shock of my life when we met face to face at my best friends wedding.
Callum's a one-and-done type of guy. And I wasn't looking for love either. But our friends had other plans for us. They thought we were the perfect match and did all they could to set us up.
Will us two stubborn hotheads see we're meant to be?
