Sunflowers & Scars

"" I use poetry as a way of expressing my often complex emotions and a way of coming to terms with unforgiving situations. So whether I am sat on the bus or washing the dishes (I don't wash dishes) poems are brewing away and manage to effortlessly piece themselves together like poetic jigsaw puzzles. Some of the poems in this book are tragically true to life while others are fiction formulated within me in order to advocate for all that I'm passion about. And while I appreciate that poetry certainly doesn't have to rhyme - When it does it makes my heart do a cute little jump and a pirouette. Playing with words keeps my mind occupied and well away from the demons that love nothing more than to torment me. Poetry has been my saviour and if just one other person on the planet finds similar comfort in reading my poems then I'll be one happy little egg.""
