Shades of Gray
Every day
Every moment
Every time
I look in the mirror
I see a face
defeated
when I should see a face
war torn and victorious
Everyone has their own battle
Their own parts to play
We are all actors
in this stage called life
We are all
shades of gray.

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
