Poetry has been my backbone and lifeline since I was thirteen. When everything in my life was falling apart, I only had my words to accompany me aside from actual people I adore and look up to. Through and through, my writing also matured. I have written hundreds of poems for more than a decade, and now I am sharing the ones that have grown with me and the ones that really made sense in all the phases of my existence. I know most people aren't interested of poems and into truly grasping it because it's raw, but I know there are bold ones left that are seeking refuge through the cracks other people possess.
