I've written 997 pieces so far

this makes it 998

having to choose 80 poems

for my first book was

agonizing

because as I started

going through them

I was reliving it all

the hope

the joy

the pain

the delirious highs

and the crushing lows

seeing my heart

ebb and flow

in print

putting my pain

to pen

on paper

trying to turn

thoughts into therapy

so that I could

reveal and release

it all in a way

every page a vulnerability

a target

a statement

a trickling

of me

the untold her.
