Strength
My dear niece
Things are tough right now
But you are strong
Things are tough right now
But you are loved.
I love you, my niece
You are my light in the dark.
You're my family now
Our bond is like steel
I will always be there for you
you will always be there for me.
We are connected in a strange way
My aunt and I were too
But now she's gone
and now she lives in you
I want to be the aunt she never got to be.
before the drugs took her life
before she strayed from the path
I will protect you from harm help you guard your heart from pain
and if all I can do is listen...
I will do it.
All I know is...
you will be coming home.

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
