First, this is not a story.
This is my own chaotic mind poured into words that rhyme together.
FYI: most poems are not related to each other. They all come from one galaxy, one planet, one person, one mind but the characters aren't the same, the motives and goals from each aren't one.
Second, comes the part where I introduce myself, which has always been the hardest part.
For someone like me, it's hard to show to everyone how messed up I can be. Though here I am, an open book that's begging to be read and admired by some.
My name is Zeina. I am fourteen, I sing and play drums. Music has always been there, in my mind, and I sometimes wonder if my poems are trashy songs but I never have an actual answer. Also, I write and draw. I have something for everything!
Third, I have been published before but you may have never heard about me. That's okay, welcome to my world!
Hope you enjoy reading this and please leave comments, positive or negative ones. In the end, criticism is one key that can open a door to success.

Struggles have never been so beautiful. TENDER by FULLOFMOON is an exploration of the human experience, delving into abstract yet universal struggles. Through experimental use of various literary devices, classical references, political theories, economic concepts, and diverse structures, it addresses uncomfortable emotions, world systems, existential questions, and infatuations (with people, things, and the self.) By employing relatable subject matter and simple language, TENDER seeks to show how deeply beautiful our tender encounters truly are.
