FEATURED IN CoffeeCommunity READING LIST!----First place in poetry - Booker Awards 2021First place in paranormal - Sunfloro Poetry AwardsThird place in poetry - Mystique Circle AwardsThird place in poetry - Luna Awards 2023----The strongest, bravest, and most incredible people are the ones who acknowledge that they're struggling, embrace their humanity, but don't just give in and let themselves drown.-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-Life is hard. That's no secret. But a lot of the hard things in life are kept secret. Is that why life's so hard? I find poetry to be the best way to tell a story. It's less statement and more expression. This book is a pattern of poetry painting the picture of a story that's been waiting to be expressed. It's dark. It's frightening. It's real. And it's only a fraction of the full truth.Life doesn't like to be explained. Sometimes life changes, and change doesn't always make sense.…

FEATURED IN @WattpadPoetry READING LIST!First place - Luna Awards 2023---15 parts. 500 words. One poem. And the ultimate question of humanity. -------We spend our lives running, for something, to somewhere. Sometimes we know, and sometimes we don't. It's a plague, a disease, that dreams have become more about satisfying the world than becoming the best person you can be. And it's worked its way into every aspect of our lives, until judgement, rejection, arrogance, heartbreak, and dissatisfaction have overran our hearts, minds, and willpower. We're chasing stars. But why? How? For what? Maybe if we truly wish to change this world, we need to start answering that question...…

"When I was sad, I hoped. When I was hurt, I imagined. When I was lost... I wrote." {}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}Stars fall, don't you know?Like dust on heaven's breath;Grazing the earth,With a coat of passion.If you looked into the night sky,You'd see at end of day;How beautifully they shatter,With thousands born in their wake.A universe old as time, Vast beyond imagination;The mysteries it must hold,Too far for exploration. What those unknown stars cry,Their colors painting their sea;Waves lapping past distant worlds,To share the secrets of their beam. The journeys we fancy,Wishes upon their gleams,Lightyears can be crossed in a moment,Only-If you can dream...{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}This collection of poetry may appear random at first glance. The theme does not come from the surface-level subject matter nor the format or rhyme scheme. Dreams, the overarching theme, are however subtly evident in the inspiration behind every single poem, no matter how they may sound.Call it the thoughts of a dreamer, so to speak. As a poet, this is my interpretation of the power of a dream, the good, the bad, the in between, and what comes of it. The mind dreams because there is possibility for a greater reality, but despite all hope... sometimes reality seems greater than them.…

| | | | | | | | | | | | Ambition is like a drug. Addictive, fueling, consuming. It calls to us. Once we've tasted its glories, all we want is more. It brings us highs that collapse into lows, carries us to heights only to drop us off the edge. Ambition is a mastermind. For good or for bad, ambition has power. Ambition is a power in us. A beautiful human power. Hard to define and often harder to control. It propels us to futures we never could have imagined and destroys us inside in ways we only could have feared.These poems from a heart well-worn by ambition's games, well-versed in its ways, the joy and all the pain, are carefully crafted images of what ambition can do to the human heart and mind. They are a celebration and a warning, praise and mourning. Keep your ambitions under check, or you may find the place to which they take you to be anything but a dream.| | | | | | | | | | | |UPDATES every Monday and Thursday!…

First place - Elysian Poetry Biweekly AwardsSecond place - Summer Magic Monthly Poetry Awards~~~"Together we're free, running wild in glee, and Beautiful, it's you and me, forever flying full happily."~~~~~~~~~ooo~~~~~~~~Life is a journey full of pain, Full of fear and questioning;And it's never ending, never ceasing, But there's hope and belonging when you choose to believe. We all have been beat to the ground, Faced the choice on if to rise once more;And no one is left unscathed from the burdens,Scars and memories they aren't sure they can fight anymore. For every girl and for every boy, For all the souls left in the dark, This is a message for the hurting from the healing;For those on the verge of crumbling to dust. You can find liberty, purpose, meaning, You can find life in a brand new way;Don't give in, open up these pages, And light up your path today. Beautiful, strong, and special, Worthy and deserving of true life;There's a reason to smile, to press on another mile,There's a hope for your future in sight. You may not see it, you may not believe it, But let me show it to you;Read on and discover, these words written to inspire, Because these letters.... Are to you.…
