I want to be nobody, like Her

This collection was born quietly, scribbled in notebooks, whispered between pages, and kept close to my chest for a long time. I started writing because Emily Dickinson made me fall in love with the stillness between words, the way a single line can feel like a whole world. I found the courage to finally share these poems because of Gracie Abrams, whose honesty reminded me that vulnerability is a strength. These poems are about feeling everything all at once, grief and hope, quiet moments and loud emotions, growing up and growing into yourself. They're for anyone who's ever been soft in a world that can feel too sharp.
