This small collection of poems is meant to reflect a special mess of a person, however, a mess who has decided to take the time to reflect after the fact. After the fact of converting to Paganism, after the fact of coming out as demisexual, after the fact of falling in love and all the complications this brings. This mess found herself writing these poems as a safe practice of sanity. This slightly-bit-more-sane of a mess is young and has so much more to learn, but as of now, has a whole mess to say.
