Story Notes

Only the better poems of my youth if you can call it that

Summary

Poems written in my youth, there is no order to this book as in chapters. It's a small look into a my mind as a teenager. I was full of pain and had been raised with manipulation, going back on your word, narcissism and physical and verbal abuse. I was a victim, but a victim is only a victim if they live, think, and hold onto their past. like a victim. I'm not saying forget, never. Grow, see what character you hate and reflect on yourself. The only power someone has over you is what you give them. So give it wisely and with great caution. There's so many people with selfish intentions. In fact, I believe every living human is full of selfish intentions. It's just how much you give in to them, that defines who you really are. Never be afraid to love people, compassion, care and empathy are powerful.

You're my world, I am your moon. Why are my fellings so void? When the sun shines you only see my back, my dark side. I see both your fades, you know I don't hide. Seeping regret shines black light, I'm hemorrhaging pride.
