Dark poetry.

Dark poetry for me has always been an outlet.

A -sometimes- uplifting sequel about growing up, conquering generational trauma and learning to love yourself, even if you don't know who you are yet. Things are looking up for Luna- a new girlfriend, a supportive new family and a job she kind-of tolerates. But when a childhood friend's wedding brings Luna back to her home town of Sanford, Luna has to deconstruct her trauma while dodging the advances of her well-meaning but problematic former church friends.

*There are no perfect people in this story; no villains, no perfect protagonists and no fairytale romance. There is, however, realistic examples of neurodivergence, discovering yourself, LGBTQIA characters and nuanced depictions of mental health problems, self harm, religious and generational trauma.*

"My name is Faith Elizabeth Samuels. Well, it used to be, before I left my fundamentalist helicopter parents and started going by Luna... My counselor tells me writing will help me to 'heal'. Somehow, writing my feelings of depression, anxiety, self harm and suicidal thoughts will negate a lifetime of 'bad feelings' about my self image, mental health and general well-being. Sounds legit. So, fair reader, does my little tale of woe intrigue you? If so, come join my merry band of misfits on this roller coaster of life."

A -sometimes- uplifting story about growing up and overcoming life's challenges. Laugh, cry and smile with our cynical author as she tries to traverse the scary life of after high school while battling her inner demons and conquering the ever-terrifying world of adulting.

Not-so-positive thoughts haunt the minds of many people; Max is no different. Max also doesn't plan on anyone finding out. He deserves the punishments he gives himself and has no intention of stopping. Good thing no one will find out! Right?

this is literally the most non-fiction thing I've ever written. it's everything I would tell my mom if she were here. (she isn't dead tho she just chose my other siblings and coke over me)

You're a girl. A girl with coal-black hair. You're alive. And the way you feel, trapped in a destiny you didn't choose, makes you yearn for any kind of escape, even death. He has feathers blacker than the night sky. And he makes you feel something more, something better than alive. He makes you feel free.

Alex is a middle schooler who lives in an abusive home and is bullied everyday. Depression takes over his life ever since his best friend, who was like his brother, passed away due to a car crash. He thinks its his fault. He blames himself for not being there for him. He thinks hurting himself will get his mind off of it. Insomnia joins his body. Not wanting to stay up, he has... coffee. It helps to stay awake. When he moves to a new school, he meets someone who might just be the one to help.

Allow me to introduce you to a girl named Melissa.

This is a story about a girl who has misplaced something dear to her, at the worst possible time.

"I want a man who will love the curve of my lip rather than the curve of my body"
