About the Creator

Alexandria Stanwyck

My inner child screams joyfully as I fall back in love with writing.

I am on social media! (Discord, Facebook, and Instagram.)

instead of therapy: poetry and lyrics about struggling and healing is available on Amazon.

    “Attention “ and “expression” — i love the sound of those here. Beautiful poem! Like an ice skater—how romantic an image. ❤️
