The Poet's Liberation

Fifteen-year-old Jordan Miller is starting fresh in a small town, seeking a new beginning after the death of their supportive mother and amidst the challenges of transitioning. With their father, a busy but caring politician, they move to his old hometown-a place seemingly quieter and potentially kinder than the bustling city they left behind. But small towns harbor big gossip and even bigger prejudices, and Jordan quickly learns that not everyone is ready for change."The Poet's Liberation" is a stirring exploration of adolescence, bravery, and the quest for acceptance. It captures the highs and lows of being a trans teen in today's world, emphasizing the power of resilience and the importance of finding your voice in a world that often demands silence. This novel not only tackles the issues of gender identity and LGBTQ rights but also delves into the bonds of family, the impact of loss, and the courage it takes to be oneself in the face of adversity.

To The Girl I Love

To the girl I loveSecretly,You are my sunshine.You are my hope and dreams.You are my peace, my light.You are my soft place to fall with.You are my everything.My dear Lili,I can't promise to love you foreverBut surely I can love you eternally./2019Sept05/----------------------As soon as I laid my eyes on her, I know it was love at first sight. I don't know her name, I don't know anything about her. But when our eyes met, she got me.I cant explain the feeling. It got me afraid and excited at the same time.How can I not be afraid? I fell in love with a person who I just saw on my news feed? Her picture suddenly pops up and when I saw her, I fell helplessly. Crazy right? But this, this makes me happy knowing that she exists.I love her from afar. And this is all I got for now. I'm taking this step to silently show my love for her. Only until when I am someone who can she be proud of. And I'm working on that.Somehow I'm wishing that this, could reach her.------------REMINDERS:First:English is not my first language so please expect for grammatical errors and please bear with it.Second:This work will be set of poems (free verse or rhymed) and MAYBE some sort of love story telling. (all about her of course)Every bit of words to be publish purely comes from my heart, my soul and comes from my mind.Third:I'm open to any types of criticism but I'm not pleasing everyone. Find it corny, find it crazy it's up to you. And if you don't believe me then I wont force you to.-----------That would be all! Thank you.

Essences Of Brokenness

Once you're in love you begin fancying the perks it provides you with and ignore the cons. What's this thing about love which truly terrifies you? Is it the state of being broken after drifting apart or fear of inability to cope up after the petrified voyage? Love is like a glow stick. Unable to shine without being broken. Getting over past has always been demanding. Dodging bullets and travelling past all the harrowing memories is definitely a mammoth task. Learning life the hard way is always preferable in order to live life harmoniously. This collection of poems provides you with stages of overcoming your dark past. It goes all the way from relatable agony to standing up for yourself with audacity.

I screamed as my timid voice cracked. "when you fucking told me that you loved me..I told you that I was unlovable. Do you remember that? Do you remember when I told you I didn't deserve love. happiness..or peace? you remember that? I do. Do you remember when I told you no one would ever love me because I'm the most ugliest, craziest, depressed, idiotic human being. Do you remember when I told you everyone in my life always leave me..
