Violet is broken. violet is more than broken, she's  s h a t t e r e d, 
and she can never seem to find the  p e i c e s.

She's bullied, but her friends try to help. they don't realize that they're failing.

her parents ignore her. they don't realize they're hurting her.

violet is broken. violet is unloved. violet is scarred. violet is hurt. but she smiles.

because when she says "I'm fine," she almost forgets she isn't.

Blood Orange Periphery

44 parts Ongoing

My suicide had been two years in the making when I decided not to follow through at the last minute. Over the past decade, I've written poems, books, short stories, fanfiction and hundreds of thousands of words, but nothing felt complete. This collection of selected works was meant to be my final offering- the only thing ready for posthumous publication. Blood Orange Periphery includes poems written in the months preceding the end-that-didn't-happen, some of my best teenage scribbles, and journal entries that chronicle the transition from death-planning, to recalibrating life.
