A Collection of Poems
These are poems from an anxious time in my life when the future was uncertain, when my relationships were unstable, and when my emotions were concealed under the veneer of being a nice girl. The cover art is a self-portrait doodle from one my high school diaries that shows what an inaccurate, warped body image I used to have.
Hidden away in a dusty box for decades, and only recently rediscovered, these words from my former self offer a resource for those invested in the work of personal transformation. It is time for this young girl’s voice to finally be heard.
