adolescence. this poetry book is about my adolescent life. some poems cover themes of mental illness, abuse, self harm and suicide, so if you're not ready to hear about that, that's okay! pick this up when you are. this book is dedicated to everyone who is struggling with their mental health right now, and those who have done in the past. you are loved and you are worthy. just remember, recovery isn't linear, but it is worth living for. thank you for choosing to read this, it means the world to me.
