fake it til you make it

you know what I've learned? fake it til you make it doesn't work in a friendship.

pretending won't fix the problems that exist

you can't pretend them away

so here's me no longer pretending in my book of poetry discussing hurt, healing, and the things I've experienced and learned through both

some things I write about may be triggering. I mostly have written about a toxic friendship I had and my battle with depression. My poetry is not for everyone but I hope that it helps you process your emotions and feelings. I'd be thankful for any constructive criticism or kind comments. I'm a new poet so please be patient with me.

not completed yet and I would really appreciate kind feedback! I would really appreciate it even if you just read one poem :)

all the poems are my original work
