Biography

Struggling with my own thoughts so I'm just here to share the positives I've turned them into Feel free to message me !! Female, 17 :)

Samples

My soul burns not with passion, but with defeat. I reach for help, but each time I grasp for you I push you farther away. I try to scream, but I'm being suffocated. My lungs fill with the smoke of my defeat, my failure. And then, I am still.
