http://www.lulu.com/shop/lauren-mat...ion-paperback/paperback/product-18798685.html

this was published sometime of last year. It contains my poems from years ago to the recent times. I have my own copy and I admit it's not the best, but for just graduating high school, im proud of myself for doin this on my own. a second book is on the way, but this time i'm gonna put a lot more time into it so it will be super awesome! i'm gonna try to see if i can find any publishers who can help me out, but if need be, i can still self publish.


I'll give you guys a little preview, this is a poem I wrote back in 2010

New World

These solid walls crash down.
All around me, I cringe in fear.
The past emerges from thin air.
Darkness escapes the locket,
I swore I hid it away from here.

Suddenly, the sky fades.
The ground splits, sinks down under,
Veiled in an invisible shade.
The thunder of my mind
Controls a twisted moment in time.

Falling nowhere,
I see figures distort;
Some are tortured, some are weeping,
But they are fragments of me.

And I creep and crawl low
In this terrifying place.
I look all around
And I realize I am alone.
Reality has hardened to stone.

Feelings I can’t comprehend
Find themselves in the dark.
My soul bleeds out from the pen,
And my limbs are torn apart
From reality.

The ghosts speak to me,
They pull out my internal secrets.
And all of the words I think
Scorch into pictures I can see.

Enemies drop dead.
The confusion doesn’t exist anymore.
I know me, I understand.
The sandy ocean shore
Is pure, wiped from the shadows.

 

That is awesome. Have you sold some copies yet?
