This collection of poems gives voice to the universal experience of being broken down by the world's expectations and struggling to remain whole. It captures the moment when childhood innocence meets adult judgment, and when mirrors crack under the weight of others' perceptions, and when the simple act of existing becomes a daily battle against self-doubt.

Capricious
An abstract, autobiographical coming-of-age story written in poetic prose that chronicles my journey from adolescent to adult by delving into my mind and my subconscious. It focuses on my mental state in my overcoming trials relating to loneliness, anxiety, depression, and existential dread by exploring key themes such as identity, love and existence.

POETRY OF MINE
Poetry is a beautiful way for self-expression, allowing me to share my thoughts and emotions in a powerful and captivating way. It is an art form that allows me to explore the depth of my feelings, and to communicate them to others in a way that is both moving and memorable. Whether through rhyme or metaphor, poetry offers a unique and endlessly rewarding way to explore the human experience.
