"The bones break, building upon one another-each vertebrae snapping, stacking, until my limbs reach the highest shelves." -From Chameleon.

Poetry was never a genre I thought I would get into. I read very little poetry when I was younger and always struggled with counting syllables for Haiku in grade school. However, many great writers have said that poetry helps fiction on a prose level. And crafting beautiful prose is where I've always struggled in my writing, and so in Spring of 2022, I took my first poetry class. It did in fact help my fiction, but I also found a third love in literature, one that I will return to throughout my life. It is poetry where I'm able to portray true, raw emotion and more times than not, write about the people I love.
Hey there! This is a collection of all my poems at one place. All of them are very close to me for they are mostly -sometimes fully, sometimes loosely- based on my life. Safe to say, this is a guide to whatever is in my mind, whatever I've been through. This is me in a way, in the form of poems.
Happy Reading friends
