STRAWBERRY FIELDS is a collection of poems about sexual assault, living with mental illness and the struggles of being young and queer, with some love poems in the mix.
"Some days I’d wake up,
And that was enough to feel defeated. I pull myself from slumber Like a wounded soldier, My bedroom a battlefield. Lost in my infatuation with all that is dead I feel my strawberry fields And I am lost in shades of red. My Abuser left the seeds of my sadness Beneath my skin and I grow Strawberries from within. He ate his fill, plundered," |
