I am just a girl trying to create rainbows in a world where my mind is held prisoner! I write a lot in order to gain perspective, purge my soul, retain my memories, and to put into words what my tears and laughter are trying to say!

Writing began as therapy. Poetry, to be specific, was a way to get an active and anxious mind to focus. Taking a feeling and describing how I felt in that moment with as few words as possible became a calming meditation.

Before I started writing, I just over analyzed everything. My mind went 100 miles an hour in 100 different directions and very few of those directions led anywhere good.

TRENDSPOTTING

Reconciling never ends

As the narrow bones

Widen into countries

And the steps descend

Into chaotic drumbeats

We churn the gold out

Spread it on idols

Tarnished repetition

Tok tok tok tok tik

Developing desperation

The bell tolled

And landscapes rolled

And nobody

Was the wiser
