Thank you to "thosefreaksoverthere" for the beautiful cover.
I was sexually abused by my father from the age of two until eight, when he went to jail. He served one year in the county jail. He continued to live a criminal lifestyle and had violated his probation, so he was getting ready to go back to jail again. He decided to committ suicide instead. His funeral was on my fourteenth birthday. That's when I began writing poetry. These poems are about the abuse I suffered and his suicide. My poetry was the beginning of my healing process...

Glass Heart
Just a short story I wrote and am very proud of, TWs include mental illness, death of family, teen pregnancy (breif mentions), neglect, toxic home life, suicide, depression, self harm, running away, self-loathing, breaking mirrors and the recovery process of mental illness. List of help lines if needed: https://checkpointorg.com/global/ (btw there's so much symbolism it would make my English teacher proud and the writing style is also strange at best, good luck)Complete

Behind every mean girl...there's a tragedy
The average human being spends every second of his day fighting against the force of nature to see another day. But I'm different. I'm not afraid of outside forces to take my life away - only myself. Approximately 10 years ago, something happened to me. Something really bad. But I'm not allowed to talk about it. As a way to release my frustration, I give hell to my body and everyone I come in contact with - especially my parents. No one knows about what happened except the ones who did it...and Him. But he didn't stay. Now, he's back and he's not talking either. I want to stop hurting, I need to stop. Make me stop.Complete
Suicidal
This is the story of an abused teenage girl, Maddie. Her need to die has become overwhelming and she is trying to find a way to help herself before she does something she may regret. The story is told from her point of view as she recalls all that has happened to her. Maybe telling her story will help her, maybe not. This isn't just any other sob story. This is more realistic. You may even find yourself comparing your life to Maddie's while reading this story. Disclosure: I wrote this as a 13-year-old and the writing is definitely not up to my current standards, but I feel as though changing what I have already written would take away from the emotion I put into this story at 13 years old. If you'd like an updated and more well-written version, please read my other story entitled "Remembering". TW/CW: domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideationComplete
Hurricanes and Daydreams - poems from a broken child
Welcome to the early years of writing development. Along with development comes editing experience 11-14 year old me didn't have, so currently editing. Read at your own risk until I'm done. Most of it is dumb preteen feelings but it's documenting where I started.Complete
