“Hope. Sameness. I write about what I have been through in hopes someone else can relate. Like maybe something I wrote could save them in a way. I just hope that readers feel understood, loved and supported.”
Hometown Strangers
Stare into my eyes
Let me make constellations out of your freckles
Open your lips to show me your smile-
Its contagious
You leave me a child
In giggling fits and blushed cheeks
Sweaty palms and sleepless nights
Dare I mention my appetite
Cliche love could be right around the corner
If only I knew your name
