A confession yelled in the wilderness- in pursuit of repentance, redemption, and salvation.
I am a broken vessel gathered by grace and mercy- an unmerited favor.
I am the one He saved.
I write not as a judge, but as a witness- a daughter of the Merciful God who loved me when I doubted Him, still chose me when I rejected Him, forgave me when I betrayed Him, and who clothed me when I bled crimson.
These poems are the realization of the sacrifice of a Perfect Lamb inhumanely punished for the sins of humanity- my sins.

Life as it is
She doesn't talk about it not out loud. Not the childhood stolen behind closed doors. Not the nights that blurred into silence. Not the years of shame, of pain, of pretending to be okay. But on the page? She tells the truth. In this deeply personal and soul baring collection, a young woman traces her path through a lifetime of abuse, betrayal, and grief-and the quiet, aching journey of healing that follows. Through poetry, she unearths the stories she's never spoken aloud, giving voice to the trauma that shaped her, and the strength that's carried her through. Each poem is a heartbeat. A scar. A step forward. Sometimes backwards. But always hers. Living. Breaking. Surviving. Healing. This is not just her story. It's the story of anyone who's ever felt broken, unseen, or unheard and still chose to write themselves into the light.Complete

I wrote and wrote in hopes that some day, somebody will understand my words and all the things I wish I could say... Each poem is a story. My story. Some are fictional but most of them are true. I know you're curious. From painful heart breaks to high school stories. A person dealing with mental illnesses, fears and abuse. Won't you like to know about the drama?Complete

Loving and Living || A Poetry
The feeling of being unheard, unloved, and misunderstood. The flooding wishes to be treated as a breathing human being, all written in a piece of crumbled paper. She simply writes using her tears as an ink. To heal, to be heard, to love and be loved. It's a journey with a mixture of pain and joy. Let's just say, tears are meant to become laughters as the time goes by. - Started : September 2023 Completed : December 24, 2024 PS.

This is a series of poems about a woman i was once in love with long ago. Everything was sweet like strawberries at first, but deep down she was just using me as a rebound to get over a broken heart she has. We met in a speech class one semester, I couldn't talk to her, I shyly had someone else to talk to her. long story short, I should have got to know her like should, because she judged me for what had and didn't have. i loved her so much that I knew that she was cheating on me and wanted her to stay, but God removed her out of my life. she done so much wrong to me, but love her even of all her flaws. This is part one of the collections of me expressing my love to her.Complete
