child abuse powerless — Poetry — Refracting Hope

$Refracting Hope$

Poetry

These poems are a mix of dark and light, the serious and less so - which shows you see, that PTSD is not all of me! Trauma, grief, parodies of songs, frustration with study –

I write about pretty much anything.

You’ll find the poems about child abuse in the Trigger Warning section of the site.
