TRANSFORMING DARKNESS TO LIGHT
real life stories. real life feelings.
Thank you for checking out my site! My passion for mental health stems from battling the demons in my own mind for most of my life. In January 2020, I started using past experiences to compose poems to describe depression and anxiety to others. Now, I seek to connect with others on a deep, emotional level in everything I create.
Enjoy exploring my development as an artist and as a writer. Peace, love, and blessings to you
Several of my poems use language that contains potential triggers. If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide, please know you are loved and contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
