This is a compilation of the poems I wrote during the ten years I lived in the West African country of Benin, a land of heat, wilderness and beauty.
These are the original poems, with a few edits. I don't often write with rhymes, I prefer using the way I arrange words to express feelings and emotions.

Body {Prose Vol. 1}✔

My Experiments With Poetry
This is a collection of random poems that I wrote. You will find poems from a range of funny incidents and mishaps to love and heartbreak to anxiety to roasting people to ode for nature to dead dog. I'm a book addict. I have fictophilia issues. ~ 🥉Third place in The Snowfall Awards ~ 🥇 First Place in The Nouvel An AwardsComplete
Poems
Full of poems that I've written, am writing, will write. Maybe mostly about life and others are deep stuff and more... Some are happy and some are sad/dark. Some poem(s) I wrote about or related to a book/movie.etc. Others I wrote as a story in poem form. *checked my old poems recently and GORE, HORROR, BLOOD ALERT for some of the poems near the beginning!! SO maybe best to read my poems from bottom to the top if you mind the stuff^^^ *I think the more recent poems are quite different from the older ones. Some poems you can interpret as you wish :) Hope you'll like the poems!!! Leave a vote if you want or comment your favourite lines or any thoughts about the poem :D Earliest poems date back from March 2018 P.S. sorry for misspelled words and lack of punctuations in the first few poems. And, if you think the poem is about you, do not ask me. Because I will neither admit nor deny ;) Achievements in my eyes(DD/MM/YYYY) 1.01K reads~15/07/2020 1.34K reads & 78 votes~17/052021 1.47K reads & 108 votes~09/072021 1.68K reads~03/032022 2.01K reads~15/112022 2.33K reads~25/07/2023 4.04K reads ~18/09/2025 (Thank you readers!)
NOW YOU SEE," THE REAL ME" UNDER MAJOR EDITING
NOW YOU SEE "THE REAL ME" #1 IN THE SERIES OF POETRY BOOKS //SAD POETRY EDITION (under major editing) "My heart was taken by you, broken by you, and now it's in pieces because of you" My poems aren't the best. The first few poems may not seem worthy of being read but... later down in the book they get better. To some, my poems are beautiful; to some, my poems are shitty and they are rubbish💀. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I can't promise that your time won't be wasted reading this book. I'm not a professional poet so expect the worst. This book isn't for everyone. It's sad, a little motivating and dark. If you aren't into sad poems don't read this book, it isn't for you. This book contains some of my thoughts,mostly about me or the people around me or just society in general. If you are feeling sad or depressed, please seek help. I know how much it hurts but it isn't too late to heal.

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
