1) 2D
2) Snake
3) A Little Flower Bud
4) Little Box
5) Sculpting Me
6) Invisible

This is my first collection of poems and I began writing them when I was seventeen. They dive deep into my mind and what I was going through emotionally in my adolescence. 2D talks about how I felt like I wasn't special, not good enough, didn't fit in well with other people. SNAKE is about fake friends and how detrimental they can be to your mental health. A LITTLE FLOWER BUD speaks on longing to grow and strive in an environment that makes it almost impossible. LITTLE BOX is about feeling trapped or confined while everyone else appears to be doing better. SCULPTING ME gives a shout out for those who were patient with me while I was growing up even when I'd make mistakes. And last but not least, INVISIBLE talks about the struggles of being unseen by your peers.
