Discover a world where magic meets reality told through two powerful, resilient female characters in my debut novel.

Poetry

Endometriosis: A Nightmare

This poem was composed for The Starving Artist’s Blood Stains Link Ink exhibit aiming to address period equity. Check out the virtual gallery here.

A nightmare ravaging my insides

Stealing light and haunting life

Broken and fracturing what was once whole

A darkness swirling and mocking

Twisting tissue and bending the soul

Claiming all I had and can no longer hold

An unforgiving force of despair

Plucking at strings and untying sanity

Hidden pain that few understand or believe
