Real Stories

this kind of love

i was scared

to let you love me

because these walls

were built so high

i was scared

to remember

the girl i used to be

even though

she got me to the other side

i was scared

you’ve already

held too many burdens

and were too tired to stay

but now I know

you’re the kind of love

that will always

find a way

I am a New Jersey based poet who aspires to share my story through poetry and prose focused on faith and my journey with depression. I have overcome many obstacles and I believe everyone has a story to tell, even if they haven't found the words yet. I hope my words can inspire others to believe in their purpose and to find strength to climb the next mountain.
