Poetry Is My Voice

A collection of poetry written from a neurodivergent mind about the multitude of emotions and experiences one can go through just to make it through adolescence. All of which envelope deep emotions and experiences such as anguish, despair and discrimination, but also poetry that touches on subtle emotions like hope and tranquillity.The poems written upon the pages of this book have come from a fifteen-year-old all the way to now a nineteen-year-old who is thrilled to finally share them with the world. These poems are the face of feelings that have been internalised for far too long, and have served as a form of self-expression through not just adversity, but also times when hope and snippets of joy felt strong.Poetry has helped the author understand their emotions and how they take in and process the environment around them. The way the author sees the world is likely different from most, but the emotions within their poetry unwrap the harsh and kind feelings that may have, at least once, been felt by all."When the world turns their ears awayIt's poetry I send words toBecause there,You might just realise the value of my voice."- Mea Finch.
