A simple collection of poems and sayings by me, stuff I shouldn't say aloud lest I be thought of badly. Funny how society silences us as not for us to speak, huh? Yeah, that's what I thought, no, it's not funny, sadly. Sorry if their no good 🙃

This is just a bunch of notes, story ideas, poems of mine. I guess you can consider this a blog. All my unpublished work goes here 😂😂😂 Cover is by @LaughterGirl114

Collection of poems of life That brings joy to the heart That put end to strife And portrays in words so simple, the life in art

I am a confused, crazy, and curious soul. These poems are a small window into my mind... Wanna take a peek? This Poetry collection contains the following:- (*) Interesting Rhyme Schemes (*) Plot twist Poems (*) Poems telling a story (*) Symbolic Poems (*) Obscured Dedications, apologies and confessions in form of poems I read somewhere-- If someone writes you a poem, they love you but if someone writes you thousands of poems they love poetry... --- This has stuck to me ever since. ANGUISHED OPTIMISM _ because I'm not a pessimist but I understand them. I'm not a realist but I want to be them. I'm neither an optimist because it sounds too beautiful to be true... I'm an anguished optimist who HAS to MAKE a happy outcome when there are none. I heard someone say- Hope dies last... I really do love tragedies... Life is Tragically Beautiful after all.

Introspective haikus regarding love, healing, and regaining balance. Let me know how they make you feel. Thank you for reading. 😊 ~~~ Highest Rankings: #6 in freewrite #22 in newauthor #33 in haiku #39 in growth #60 in healing (out of 8k)
