I started to write poetry to get me through some difficult years as a teenager and young adult. Looking back, writing helped me through a period of depression, only recognized some years later. With writing, once the words hit the paper, they lost their internal, emotional power, with thoughts and feelings no longer holding me to ransom. I've been writing ever since, every time something has stirred me emotionally, be it personal or from a bystander's view and now, hitting 40, I wanted to share it with the world in the hope that it is relatable, and shows how writing can be a useful self-help tool.
Covering a range of topics written through a range of emotion there is something for everyone in this first short book, with future books focusing in more depth on some of the themes covered.
COMPLETED, next poetry collection coming soon
This is a poetry collection that is both ever updating and ever changing. This collection of poetry isn't exactly traditional or ever a solid complete piece of prose, I am ever adding and changing and morphing them into something I feel is better or is more to what I feel suits the character or the emotion I wrote the poem to embody.
That being said, this collection has some works alike the past one that I made a few years back that doesn't quite hold up to standard today. I have poems that I have remade and moved into this collection, so If you have come from the previous collection know that if you recognise the theme it's because of that.
I created this intended as both a challenge to write some feelings into something productive as-well as to write some inspired works made for a character I made as I wrote the poem or for a event or piece of media I enjoyed. Nothing is ever solid or at least their perspective will change as I write the poem or rewrite it.
Anyways enjoy, I try not to be too pretentious but I don't really care because again this is a vent piece of work.
