Three years ago, I wrote a letter.
Three years ago, I made a promise.
I promised myself that I would get better, that I wouldn't go back to that place. A place where I was trapped in my own mind, surrounded by little more than my own demons and bad memories.
I broke that promise.
So here I stand, wondering what went wrong, praying that someone will save me, as I stare down at the ten steps that lie between me and my death.

Mind of The Disordered- A Memoir (Completed)
When you're stuck inside a layer of skin you never asked for, what does the soul do? It cries out in poems and pictures, and words that have so much meaning to anyone if they look hard enough. It winces in pain every time the pen hits the paper and shouts in agony every time the mirror is reflected upon a burning face. This is a collection of me. My eating disorder, my depression, anxiety, my thoughts, my words, my pain. If you've ever wondered what it was like inside the mind of an anorexic, a bulimic, a chronically depressed woman, here is the answer. A memoir written by me. There is no specific order you should read this book. Choose a random chapter from the table of contents, and read. Take a little in, leave a little out. ****** There is a major trigger warning for almost every story in here. If you are sensitive to numbers, or ideas or anything of this matter, this book may not be for you.Complete
Suicidal Thoughts
WARNING ⚠️ this story begins with a suicidal scene. If you are easily triggered then I suggest you skip the beginning chapter. You have been warned, but on to the actual description... Not every story is happy. Not every story is a fairy-tale. Not every story can make you smile. Not every story is going to be happy. But this story is different. It is different in it's on way. This is a story for me to tell the world, about me and my very real....suicidal thoughts. Maybe....just maybe some parts will make you smile😉Complete
Within Reach
~One more step, was all it would take. To end it all. And here I was, about to take it.~ But what can you do when death doesn't want you dead? When life won't let you go? When the one person you truly live for is someone who your entire being screams at you to run from. When the world tips you upside down and leaves you there to hang. When the person you surround your self with is someone you should only ever meet once. When everything in your past messes with your future. Because Life was never meant to be this way. Not like this. For me, Living became a much harder thing to do, as soon as I found my reason for it. For something I'd always begged for, wants me too. But not how I would have ever deemed possible. It's not what I expected. For I'd never have imagined how close within my reach death really was.Complete
Monsters Inside My Head
WARNING: Some pieces may contain triggers for those who struggle with any form of depression or self harm. Please read with caution. I will often rearrange the chapters in the way I see fit, so please be patient and keep that in mind. This is my first attempt at poetry. It will consist of shit that I've gone through/dealt with and ramblings from my screwed up mind. These works are purely fictional and not meant to be taken literally.Complete![Moments [H.

Moments [H. Styles]
COMPLETED Warning: This story will contain self-harm, sexual abuse, and drug abuse. Read at your own risk. Death. It's nature's way of telling us that while it was a good run, it was time for the end. Everyone dies, but that's not important. The moments that lead up to your last breath are what matters, right? It's never been about your final moments, it's what leads up to them that count. Make them great. Live. Make memories, make the moment count. [lots of short chapters in the beginning with the less important stuff] Full credit to manip creators whose work I used in cover.Complete

Dickhead Syndrome
The story of bullying and romance and gangs. And abuse. It shows how any life can get out of hand. "My boyfriends father is choking me! Because I won't let him rape me!" Does she give in or not? "My family will be looking for you and me. They will come save me so you better let me go." "Your family isn't your family no more we hear that you have gone different paths is that not true. And before you lie. We have a lie detector here. And if anyone goes looking for you they will see your note that you will be gone for awhile." My fear started to eat at me. The overthrowing urge of vomiting came across my body. Does she get out or is she gone forever.Complete
