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

Poetry's Tale to Tell

99 parts Complete

One sample of my work (Note not all poems will be so serious, some are story like others are light hearted): "Every day, something happens... Someone gets bullied, Just because "They're different" "Nerdy" "Annoying" "Have no sense of fashion..." All those things are of unimportance...! Everyone has a choice, Don't let what someone says, change it! You could stand down... Watch as the victim pleads for help... That's the easy path, But is it the right one? Do you want that on your consciousness? The pain can be so bad... It takes a life... Then it's too late, Regret becomes your best mate... A depressing thought... Although. It doesn't have to be that way...! YOU can make it change! Stand tall, speak loud, Stand up for what is right! That one action... Can save a life...! You could make a friend, A REAL friend. Spread awareness and Right the wrong! Be brave! For those who suffer... You're not alone...! If there's no knight to slay The evil demons away... Find it within you, to be strong! If you get no help, save yourself! You deserve happiness, and it will come! For karma never forgets you! Nor your enemies... Once it comes around, it will go around... Speak out, you will be heard...! The era of bullying will be no longer...!"
