Outsider Stories

In the shadowed hours when sleep evades the weary soul, we build altars from the fragments of a fractured world - raw free verse that confronts the ego's crushing weight and the digital haze of modern exile. These poems draw from noir nights and Catholic introspection, unearthing resilience amid PTSD's echoes, Ozark folklore's whispers, and a faith that questions even as it clings to Christ's sacrifice in the stranger's gaze. Here, beauty blooms in imperfection: an outlaw's crown forged from internal turmoil, societal manipulation, and the slow, deliberate repair of a GenX heart scarred by life's dust and screen-lit nihilism. With a gravelly edge and a defiant grace, the collection favors practical gratitude over grand illusion - inviting readers to linger at these insomniac altars, where transformation whispers louder than chaos. For readers who crave poetry that bleeds honesty, resists the rush of progress, and finds divinity in the everyday grind. A collection that listens for one blood's cry - and lingers like a half-remembered dream.

Sixteen-year-old Olive has spent two years surviving on the streets of Appalachia, picking locks, keeping her head down, and hiding the strange power that stirs when she's scared or angry. She's always known she was different. She just didn't know she was dangerous until the day she made a couple of kids invisible. Now Olive is dragged into Morwynth Hall, a secret magical academy that doesn't accept outsiders, especially not wandless casters like her. But Olive doesn't want the power she's supposed to crave. She just wants to survive. That becomes harder after she humiliates Jeremy Halrowe, Morwynth's golden boy, in a duel she should never have been able to win. Raised to believe wandless magic is unstable and extinct, Jeremy is rattled. Instead of reporting her, a heated exchange lands him a punishment neither of them wants. He becomes her tutor. What follows is rivalry, tension, and a dangerous closeness neither of them can afford. As Olive's magic grows and old ways begin to whisper back to life, she's forced to choose. She can keep trying to disappear. Or she can stop letting the world decide who she's allowed to be.

This is a collection of the poems I published over the years (circa 2014-2018). I decided to put them all in one book. It's very cringey, I know, but it's still a part of my life and my growth as a writer. I don't write poetry anymore, but it was essential during the times when I just needed to tell my story and let things out but had no other outlet to do so healthily. So let's cringe together at my teen writing, shall we? ✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ NOTE: If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.
