"What happens when self-awareness turns into self-doubt? When existence feels like a grand, absurd journey with no clear destination?"
This is not just a poem-it is an epic satire on the struggles of identity, overthinking, and the irony of our so-called wisdom. Written in the style of a mock epic, Self Lost transforms real conversations into a poetic odyssey, blending humor, philosophy, and existential confusion.
Join this chaotic yet rhythmic quest, where the hero is no hero, the journey is no journey, and getting lost might just be the only way to be found.

Things I Wish I Could Say To My Mother
What follows here is an anthology of poetry spanning a major transitional period of my life, beginning with the first one I wrote. From casual observations, to heartfelt love poems, to the depths of my journey with depression, my internal struggles with religion, and settling into my exploration of surrealism and aesthetic, this is what I have to offer of my soul. // Oh to be an atom, beholden to it all, I hope you find something in my writing, and godspeed in your journey through the stars. // Cheers and a thousand blessings, Michayla [trigger warning: brief references to suicide/self harm in "Musings Of A Caged Bird"]Complete
