TW: Themes of child abuse, trauma, and post traumatic stress disorder. Mentions of mental illness and suicidal thoughts. Reader discretion is advised.

I had a dream once that I died in a house fire. I am certain it was connected to the things happening in my life at the time, as my family split and shattered apart. The distance between us both emotionally and in miles is something I never predicted could happen years ago. And yet...

This collection of poems has been written throughout the times that I felt my family falling apart. The darkest moments of my childhood, the hardest times of my life.

I feel that I need to share them to get them out of my system. So I am posting them here for you.

that has mastered the art of evasion.

MELANCHOLY | Melancholy drips from my fingertips. SOON TO BE A PUBLISHED PAPERBACK. COMING 2025! This melancholy drips from my fingertips so slowly, you begin to forget I even exist. All of me, the hard parts of flesh you could never seem to love, drips down the drain. I am waiting for the day for your fingers to unscrew the pipes, dig through debris and mess, scrape your heart against the rust, just to find me, so we can go through it all over again. Here, in the pages I find myself, in the ink that writes against my flesh, I will whisper the sadness, the heartache, and the decaying for all of the unspoken. Perhaps under this layer of melancholy, the girl I once knew still exists.    First poetry collection in the series. Original poems based off real life experiences. #12 in poetry.

Tender by fullofmoon

Struggles have never been so beautiful. TENDER by FULLOFMOON is an exploration of the human experience, delving into abstract yet universal struggles. Through experimental use of various literary devices, classical references, political theories, economic concepts, and diverse structures, it addresses uncomfortable emotions, world systems, existential questions, and infatuations (with people, things, and the self.) By employing relatable subject matter and simple language, TENDER seeks to show how deeply beautiful our tender encounters truly are. Book cover photo credits: Reylia Slaby - Dagny Tarver
