Bio
I am a Poet and an inspiring short story, one day novel writer.
I like to write in free verse mostly, but am heavily inspired by Emily Dickenson, and tend to create my own rules and ideas as well.

I didn't leave you my dear.
Our visits have become something of a ritual for me. With a bouquet of fresh flowers in hand, I breathe in the cold air. Letting it feel my lungs with a sense of urgency and pain. A reminder that each breathe, no matter how painful is a gift. My mother would be so proud to hear me quoting her. Closing the door to the car, I find myself preparing myself. I shouldn’t be nervous. It’s not like I need to really say anything.

I am Friends with Death.
Similar to Emily Dickinson, I have become a good friend with death. I find them to be lovely company and generally a kind soul. Some days death has a temper, and comes down with an iron fist. But other days they are a sooth presence; a peaceful spectator.

In which I chose to keep going.
I’m staring at the bathroom mirror. Trying to find the girl that use to be inside, but I keep drawing a blank. My freshly dyed black hair is hanging in chunks around my face. I could brush it, but that would take energy that I currently don’t have.
