Hello!
I have finally added some poems to Nightfall.
My aim with this book is to begin a new chapter when I enter a new period of my life. Each will deal with issues which haunt my mind at that specific time. I have returned from university with a mixed bag of results. Academically, I have overperformed. Mentally I am broken, damaged and afraid. I'm not quite sure what to do, least of all where to turn.
The things I describe are all true. Yes, I really did hear a young lady being attacked outside my accommodation. Her screams still haunt me. Two people died outside my front door. Two others were stabbed. I attended the funeral of a journalist shot in the head while doing her job. I have been told to kill myself, spat at, and ordered home for simply being the nationality I am. "God help you. Because you certainly need it" is an insult which lives on in my mind. I have seen both sides spewing their hatred and flying their terrorist flags.
Why did I chose to go here I hear you ask? Because of the opportunities I gained. I completed an internship, learned two new languages, built my network and gained a master's degree. But being alone, being hated, feeling alien in my own county and the sleepless nights brought on through fear have broken me.
I thank the community here for your support. There have been some lovely comments and DM's from some of you and I have read some lovely stories and fantastic poetry. I haven't had time to read and favourite it all, but I will try and do so soon.
Thank you all. Please remember to read Nightfall with some caution, as it does talk about some heavy topics.
Stay strong everyone! I know @TheDayDreamingAuthor is living through some earthquakes right now, please stay safe!
