Hello! Welcome to my book of poetry! Genuinely, I never thought I was going to make a book like this, as writing poetry admittedly was not really one of my strongest pursuits. But most recently, I have been getting into moods where I just find myself writing it. Free-verse ones, at least. And it actually turns out pretty decent? Although I can not write poetry with rhymes in it, I struggle with those the most (but I also do think writing and all this can be pretty subjective, so...). But I have been reading a lot of poetry recently, perhaps that is what has given me the motivation to start writing it.
A friend actually recommended me to do this—because he read something that I wrote and he loved it so much it made him cry, funnily enough. But he liked my writing style and told me I should actually try writing poetry. Which, at that point, I had already been thinking about doing it for a while, so I decided why not. Thus, why I decided to make this book: so I can store them all here.
A little warning beforehand, I'm not too sure how committed I am going to be to keep this book consistently updated. I don't exactly have much poetry written already, as I am only just newly discovering how much I enjoy writing poetry. And I also don't really write poetry too often because of how busy I am with school and work. I am going into this book completely blind, as I don't really have a certain plan for how I want this book to go. I'll just see how it all turns out in the end.
Trigger/content warnings: depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm/self-destructive behaviors, grief, death (knowing me, most likely).
