Fallout
The world was rotten
Its core was destroyed by man
By nuclear fallout.
And I saw it all
Fire falling from the sky
It happened right then.
And we were all changed.
The radiation
Poisoned the earth we lived on
Rotted to the core.
I was changed, too.
My eyes turned orange
Blazing with the fire of souls
I’m forever changed.
We were all so changed.
Eaten from the core
Rotten from the inside out
The last of us, here.
The ones left behind
To rot in our misery
We were left behind.

Hello, my name is Anne-Marie. Welcome to my profile. I like to think of myself as a writer and advocate for mental health and invisible illnesses. Part of me struggles with my faith on a daily basis because of my sexual orientation. So a lot of my poetry is about coping with that and my health on a day-to-day basis. I don't define myself with my sexual orientation or my health struggles but they are a part of me; there's no denying that. I love to write dark science fiction about dystopic futuristic landscapes. I like to write strong female leads with a lot of emotion and feeling to them. I truly live, breathe, and enjoy writing. Thank you for reading this
