You're On Your Own is a raw and vulnerable expression. It holds the angst, regrets and existential crises of a girl who learned to suppress her emotions. Rather the society taught her to ignore her too muchness, doubt her worth and compare herself with the other girls.
Between 2021-2023, when most of these poems were written - I was in my early twenties (my frontal lobe was not fully developed) - I was lost in search of myself. I had no idea about who I was supposed to be. I was constantly asking myself - what does the world want me to be? (Wrong question - I know now)
The title of the first poem of the book is - Who am I ? How the Hell am I Supposed to Know?
Writing these poems took me on a journey to express the parts of my life that were locked away so I can appear as a good girl.
Reading these poems have helped me not compare myself and not see myself through a lens of hate. These poems are helping me fall in love with my imperfections.
You're on Your Own is beginning of my journey of UNLEARNING.
I hope these poems inspire you to express your emotions, your story and your voice.
Lots of Love
Your writer friend

No safety, no net.
Injustice of our Kismet."

to ignore
my reflection."

flutters my heart every night —
disguised in hope, as she might."
