“ I run like I feel breath on my neck , as if I’m running for my life. It’s not healthy or safe and I’m well aware that driving myself that hard is a form of self-punishment, and also and expression of the fear I live with everyday. Overall Review for the Series: 5/5 Imagine having to leave your identity behind and still having to watch you back everyday? Who would you trust? ....... Let me start by saying this is the first series I tackled as a part of #theunreadbookshelf2018 challenge that has been going around Instagram.

"Our world is afflicted, and it's time for a new start" - Justin Wetch Overall Review 5/5 Brilliant, Modern, Minimalist yet strong. I had been in desperate search for a collection of poems that spoke to me, in terms of what I was feeling and what is going on in the world. This collection of poems is everything and more.

For me Poetry has always been a escape and also something I rarely share. As a matter of fact very few of my friends have read my poetry. This blog is somewhat of a safe space for me so I am sharing a poem that I wrote back in May of 2010... Heartbreak is my
