Calm After The Storm
Whatever you may be going through, there is always hope, kindness, and love - sometimes it’s just about where to find it.
This book is a collection of my thoughts, feelings and experiences.
Over the past four years, since writing my first poem, I have turned what began as my only outlet for expressing my emotions, to something I believe can make an impact in this world.
As I say in one of my poems:
“Weigh up whether you’re breathing life, or just oxygen.”
I hope this book can be a safe space, an outlet for your worries, and a reason to keep going.
Poetry saved me. Now I want to inspire you.
