It paints a vivid picture of leaders and governance that have fallen far from the nation's promise. Leaders make grand promises of progress, unity, and prosperity, but their actions have left the people struggling, with issues like corruption and division plaguing the country. The poem captures the stark contrast between the nation's potential and the challenges it faces due to governance issues. Despite the adversity, the poem's message is one of hope, with the people's spirit and resilience shining through as they seek to reclaim their nation's destiny and rectify the wrongs of their leaders.

Blood Orange Periphery

44 parts Ongoing

My suicide had been two years in the making when I decided not to follow through at the last minute. Over the past decade, I've written poems, books, short stories, fanfiction and hundreds of thousands of words, but nothing felt complete. This collection of selected works was meant to be my final offering- the only thing ready for posthumous publication. Blood Orange Periphery includes poems written in the months preceding the end-that-didn't-happen, some of my best teenage scribbles, and journal entries that chronicle the transition from death-planning, to recalibrating life.
