living life one word at a time.


For me, poetry isn’t simply expression, but rather the method in which to collect myself and piece me back together; my poetry is an amalgamation of who I’ve been, who I am and who I might become.

  • Glass Walls

    Glass Walls are objects that enable us to see the world around us, but through a lens that makes it seem like the grass is greener on the other side. It distorts the view, until we think of ourselves as worthless. What are your Glass Walls?
