This is a poem that I write recently about how suicidal thoughts, while obviously very dark in nature, have silver linings and have in a strange way helped me over the years.

I am a marketing consultant and aspiring writer, with a major in English and a minor in history. I have been writing poetry consistently since my senior year of high school and have since published three poetry books and three novels. I have also written several songs and a few short stories. I also wrote and published a trilogy of novels, my Troika book series. I am currently working on a large-scale multi-book fantasy series that I am very excited about! Writing is a part of my every day, and I would have trouble finding meaning or the will to keep going without it.
Take Me Home
This is a poem that I wrote recently about how I often live in the past and fear the future, but that giving up is not an option. Each stanza ends with a repeated verse, which stems from something I said in a prayer the other night in a shower (as odd as that sounds). I thought it was neat, so I wrote it down and ran with it.
Slow Demise of Man
This is a poem that I wrote recently about humanity and how we seem to slowly be destroying ourselves.
You Can Have Me
This is a poem that I wrote recently. I am not entirely sure who the poem is written towards; a lover, God, myself. Perhaps all at once, or a lover who is yet to come.
Have Your Back
This is a poem that I wrote about the old concept of how often times people find themselves forsaken by friends or family in times of need, as you can never truly trust anyone besides yourself.
Deep Thoughts
This is a poem that I wrote recently about how I tend to overthink, and often think so deeply it frightens me, but that I've always been this way.
Time Machine
this is a poem that I wrote recently about how sometimes I wish I had a time machine to go back and change or cherish certain things from my past, which I think is something that we can all relate to.
Kind Stranger
This is a poem that I wrote about the importance of leaving a positive impact on the world. Our lives are so short, and we should practice being kind more often, biting our tongue, listening to others, and not judging. In doing so, we might be remembered.
All of the Angels
This is a poem that pays homage to my inner angles, and encourages others to think about theirs since we tend to focus more so on our demons.
Hypocrites in Droves
This is a poem that I wrote a few weeks ago about how we are all hypocrites in one way or another.
