Passion for Writing
Writing is my my passion, especially poetry.
My Stories
Inherited War
This a nonfiction piece that I wrote about my experiences with anxiety and OCD. I was lucky enough to get it published in The North Texas Review.
Delicacy
This is a sonnet inspired by both the love and jealousy we have for others, even when we don't know what they're truly like.
Cool
This is a sonnet I wrote about things behind hide behind their calm facades. In a way, it is a sequel to the previous sonnet, "Delicacy."
To My Glasses
This is a poem I wrote about my glasses and how I both hate and need them. While it may seem like it is just about my glasses, it is also a metaphor.
Always
This is a sonnet that I wrote about a death and how it can feel like those that have passed on are still talking to us.
Rivals
This is a sonnet I wrote about both love and hate and how they're connected. It is also in the perspective of two people.
