Poellusion - Poetry & thoughts to stories

Poetry, rhyme's & quotes written from scratch by the author, Victoria [on tumblr] from when she faced a dark period in 2015-2016 after leaving a cult she grew up in, losing direct family to religion, losing worldly friends, all social life and struggling with neglect and a mind stuck in limbo with her own longing thoughts for death. She lived in her room by herself between these years after both of her sisters had moved out (one because of religion and clashing views and the other to a new boyfriend). She would often dress up in her room unattractively, take photos at night and post them. This was her way of reminding herself that she was alive, asking herself if she was real, if others could see her and because she desperately wanted this new reality of hers that was falling apart to not be real.

Originally given the name "Polusion", this is a word she created from the word "poetry" and "illusion". This was because this was poetry and thoughts created based on the illusions she fell for in the many events in her life, looking at these many illusions as if they were her cage.
