this collection of poetry explores the complex feelings around

trauma depression sexuality love friendship and healing

i have sometimes wished that people could read the thoughts that come into my mind

because they are the truest part of me

sometimes these thoughts represent the best in me

but they can also represent the worst

and i am going to share both with you

because humans are not all good or all bad

we overwhelmingly live in the gray area

and this is what makes the human experience

so frustratingly beautiful
