    About this ebook

    A collection of poems in which readers can see the world through the eyes of the author. Having spent years battling with depression and harassment from countless people she finds herself seeing the world differently than many people. Many of the poems are directly based off of events that have happened in her life. Pain was born from an incident where her teacher started harassing her and Bubbles describes how she feels cut off and alienated from the world because she is an outcast. WARNING: CONTAINS OFFENSIVE AND TRIGGERING CONTENT. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

    I'm just a normal teenager who has had a passion for writing for as long as I can remember. I especially love writing poetry but enjoy drama and horror as well.
