A Collage of Poetry Ripped From the Soul

- A COLLAGE OF POETRY RIPPED FROM THE SOUL || ❝When I scream you're my echo❞

Two college students who major in different classes but need help finding a path. They are constantly searching and yearning for a life of fulfillment but also want to stay on track of the easy way out. Avoidance is key and keys can unlock a door or keep it cemented shut. Shia is a young woman who can't seem to escape her own mind, stuck in a pattern of her own spirals, she finds herself buried away from all potential. She is a literature student with a passion for making her thoughts tangible. How can a girl know everything at 13 but nothing at 19? She has lost herself in a wave she has created, everything that once made her happy is pulling her into her grave. She has the brains to articulate her problems, but the worst kind of pain is being self-aware of your own destruction. Having the ability to watch herself fall apart and jot down the ways she ended up in that position, highlight and tab the pages of her own eulogy.

Mathew is a boy with a noose around his neck, that was passed down through generations. He always knew he was determined to be a failure but never thought he could pinpoint a moment where he watched everything that was inevitable all fall into place. He was watching himself disintegrate through a stained glass window and couldn't seem to figure out how to hit the brakes. His head was fuzzy and his ears rang, but he used that as an anchor to reality. Matt is a cliche fuckup with a line of abuse and closeted self-hatred. He's really nothing special, in all reality, it's just the truth. He's just a tally on a board.
