This is Me

I wasn't supposed to be here. I wasn't supposed to make it to 40. But I did. I survived depression, abuse, heartbreak, and the loss of loved ones. Through it all, poetry has guided me through dark times.

This collection of poems traces my life's journey, revealing my deepest secrets while celebrating the woman I've become. I inhaled the words on these pages and exhaled the anxiety and depression that tried to consume me.

More than a testament to survival, this is a tribute to my first love: poetry.

Contemporary Fiction

Speechless

Kennedy Jackson is an aspiring writer striving to become a published author. However, her romance life is in shambles, and she is at a loss for words. When her dreams are so close to becoming a reality, her beliefs about intimacy are challenged, and she must explore all forms of love, including loving herself. Her young adult novel follows the journey of Teagan, a fictional character who symbolizes Kennedy's own experiences and struggles. They use poetry and self-reflection to see their self-worth and pursue their purpose.

Her Story

The pain in her heart paralyzed her. Emotionally and physically, she suffered. She tried to forget, but the tears dropped. Everyone told her it's the process. With time, she’d heal. But she was impatient. Writing became her muse, and she poured her heart out on paper. Each entry, each word, brought her closer to recovery. Theresa takes us on an emotional journey, from falling in love to becoming a survivor of verbal abuse.

T's Telling the Truth is a poetic journey of self-discovery. For most of her life, Theresa was afraid to speak up. However, after being silenced for too long, she knows the importance of telling her story. This is only a small collection of the poetry she wrote about her experience with abuse, depression, and losing loved ones. Through her writing, she learned to heal, love again, and most importantly love herself.
