But as tensions rise within the family, it becomes clear that Emmy's quiet presence is changing them-whether they want it to or not. And when she is nearly lost, the Valmont brothers are forced to face the truth they've been avoiding. Emmy was never the weakest among them. She was the one holding them together

My thoughts after midnight.

Small thoughts that keep you up at night, Things that are echoed, but not said.

This collection of poetry consists of pieces that I've written over the years. I realized that there are so many literary pieces of mine that have been lost throughout the years, which is why I decided to use this platform as a safe archive for the many that will come. Please note that some of these will be in Afrikaans.

The words l couldn't say out loud

Just some rhyming poems I wrote in my Notes App during random moments. Honestly they're weird and more depressing than I thought they'd be! But maybe some of you can relate to them. Take care of yourself, if there are any themes in here that are too heavy for you. Enjoy reading! And also maybe writing yourself, but mostly reading!
