Personification

//3rd Place Arctic Awards//

Through poetry, this book expresses different mental illnesses, emotions and discoveries of a teenage mind.

'No amount of body lotion or perfume could cover up the memory of his smell on my weakened, scarred skin,
And no amount of head-hitting or skin-cutting or hair-pulling could amount to the pain he caused me, but I still tried anyway, to get the hurt out of my mind.

For maybe then I could forget about how he abused my body in such a way I was no longer in it anymore.'
