Diary of an Insomniac [Collection of Poems]
I think the title's pretty self-explanatory. WARNING: May include graphic content, profanity, expressive depictions of negative feelings, romantic references, and, most importantly, triggering content. Where there is possibly triggering content, it's usually followed up by something symbolizing strength and making it past that- but if you don't think you can make it through it, please feel free to skip over that poem or to message me. I'm always willing to talk, and you can probably figure I've been there and I understand.Complete
