Author's Note and Disclaimer:

A collection of poems and song lyrics. All original. Some prompted through in-class assignments

most of these were written from 13-16 years old during a time that I lived in my own mind. I wanted to live in a fantastical version of my reality to avoid trauma. Some of these poems romanticize my harmful coping mechanisms, because that's what I did at that time.

My views & my mind have changed. Read with caution. Be gentle. You're entering a teenager's mind.
