Sometimes, people say things without realizing who they’re saying them to. Without thinking about what it means when they speak fear into the shape of someone else’s reality. I Am Your Worst Nightmare is a poem for those moments—for the ones who see strength and call it scary, who meet resilience and mistake it for threat. On the surface, it’s a warning. Underneath, it’s a quiet truth. Read it however you want. Just know—it wasn’t written for your comfort.💚

This poem was inspired by one of the greatest lines ever delivered on television—courtesy of Sassy from Ted Lasso. It’s the kind of savage brilliance that makes you pause, clap, and maybe re-evaluate your enemies list. I’ll Wear Red is a poetic homage to that energy. It’s for anyone who’s ever fantasized about showing up to a toxic person’s funeral—not with grief, but with flawless fashion, dry wit, and zero regrets. Because closure? Sometimes it comes dressed in red.💚

There will always be people who sit on the sidelines, never daring to create a single thing, and yet somehow feel entitled to tear down those who do. This poem is for every writer who’s ever felt the sting of baseless criticism from someone who’s never once faced the vulnerability of the blank page. If You’ve Never Bled on the Page, Hush is a reminder to take in the feedback that helps you grow—but to protect your voice from those who haven’t earned the right to shape it. Keep writing. Keep daring. And remember: if they’ve never built anything, their opinion carries nothing.💚

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t feel deeply, soulfully grateful to call this place home. Canada, in all its vast beauty and quiet strength, continues to take my breath away—whether it’s the mountains brushing the sky, the endless lakes that mirror the stars, or the kindness of strangers who feel like neighbours. Grateful for Home is a love letter to this land and the people who make it what it is. It’s a thank-you to the rivers, the forests, the freedom, and the quiet pride of being Canadian—not just by birth, but by heart.💚

I never want my words to reach for some distant, perfect version of you. I want them to find you here—in the mess, in the ache, in the quiet moments no one else sees. I don’t write to fix or force or lift before you're ready. I write to meet you. To sit beside you in the dark and say, “You’re not alone.” Right Where You Are is a poem about that kind of presence. The kind that doesn’t rush healing or demand progress, but simply offers a steady hand and an open heart—until you’re ready to rise.💚

I don’t write to impress. I write to ignite. Every word I put on the page comes from something deep and untamed in me—a need, a truth, a fire that refuses to be quiet. I write in the hope that something I say will crack you open. That it will slip past your defences and light up the forgotten corners inside you. To Set Fire is a declaration of that intention. A reminder that writing isn’t about being liked—it’s about being felt. Deep in your chest. In your gut. In your bones. This poem is for anyone who’s ever read something and thought, I didn’t know anyone else felt that too.💚

Some places take your breath away—quietly, completely. The glacial lakes of the Albertan Rockies are like that. They don’t shout their beauty; they hold it. With stillness. With grace. With a strength so steady it feels eternal. This poem is my offering to them. My attempt to honour their depth, their clarity, their gentle power. Where the Lake Holds the Sky is for the moments when you're standing at the edge of something vast and sacred, and you feel yourself reflected—not in the surface, but in the silence. In the knowing. In the way the water welcomes you without ever needing to speak.💚

There is a kind of trust that lives in water—a sacred, ancient knowing that asks us not to control, but to surrender. To be carried. To soften into flow. This poem was born from that trust. From the way a river moves with quiet authority, carving through the earth like it’s always known the way. She Lets the River Carry Her is about releasing the need to cling to certainty, and instead allowing yourself to be held by something older than fear. Something steady. Something alive. It’s a love letter to surrender, and to the quiet strength that comes from letting go.💚

There is something transcendent about standing among the mountains—something that quiets the noise of the world and reminds you of your place in it. Not in a way that shrinks you, but in a way that anchors you. That lifts your gaze and steadies your soul. This poem is a tribute to that feeling. To the hush that settles when you're surrounded by giants. To the ancient strength that lives in rock and snow and sky. Among the Mountains is an offering of gratitude for the way they hold us without asking, and for the peace that blooms in their stillness.💚

There are women who carry the wilderness inside them—who bloom wild and wide beneath open skies, who feel most themselves with dirt on their hands and wind in their hair. This poem is for her. For the one who finds herself in the hush of forests and the roar of rivers, who doesn’t just love the wild but is the wild. Who moves through the world with the same wonder, majesty, and untamed grace as the landscapes she loves. The Wild in Her is a celebration of that sacred bond—between woman and earth, spirit and sky, the wilderness outside and the wilderness within.💚

There is something sacred about the wilderness—something that strips away the noise and reminds me who I am. Every time I step into its embrace, I feel both humbled and held. The trees do not rush me. The rivers do not demand I speak. The mountains do not ask me to be anything but present. This poem is a love letter to that majesty. To the way the wild welcomes me back like I never left. To the deep, wordless gratitude I carry for its beauty, its stillness, its breathtaking reminder that I am part of something so much greater.💚

There are days when movement feels like medicine—when the simple act of stretching, swaying, or walking becomes a reminder of all the things our bodies are still capable of. I wrote this poem as a love letter to that freedom. To the joy of moving not to shrink or prove or punish, but simply because we can. Because we’re here. Because our bodies are sacred vessels, and every step, every reach, every dance is a quiet celebration of life. This one is for anyone who’s ever felt the power of moving with abandon and grace.💚

There’s a peculiar kind of ache in being loved well now, when you weren’t loved well then. The Math Never Works is a poem that sits in the quiet contradiction of healing—the way the kindness of those around us can be breathtaking, and yet, somehow, still not enough to erase the cruelty of those who first taught us who we were. It is a reflection on the beauty of being surrounded by people who lift and love you with intention—and the sorrow that lingers when that love doesn’t quite reach the places broken by those who were meant to love you first. This poem is a love letter to the ones who stay, and a mourning song for the ones who didn’t.

There is a particular kind of sorrow that comes from being broken by someone who walks away untouched. The One Who Was Broken is a lament for the aftermath—for the unbearable truth that the person who destroys is rarely the one who suffers. This poem speaks to the injustice of systems that protect the destroyer, not the destroyed. It grieves the way society demands evidence from the wounded while offering comfort and cover to the ones who cause the harm. It is a poem for anyone who has ever been left to carry the weight of someone else’s violence, manipulation, or cruelty. For anyone who’s been forced to rebuild in silence while the world turned to shield the one who tore them down.

There are poems that come softly, and there are poems that arrive as elegies—for the time that was taken, the peace that was fractured, the self that was dimmed by someone else’s darkness. The Days You Have Stolen is not just a poem. It is a mourning. A reckoning. A quiet scream for every hour spent shrinking under the weight of fear, for every breath held too tightly in the name of survival. It is written for the ones who have been watched, followed, manipulated, and made to feel unsafe in their own lives. For those who have lost months, years, and seasons to the shadow of another. This is what it means to grieve what was stolen and to rise, slowly and burning, from the ash.

This isn’t about a break-up. It’s about something harder to name—the grief of a relationship that should have been safe, but wasn’t. One that held so much potential, so much history, and could have been so much more. It’s about the ache of trying. Of giving. Of holding on longer than you should have, only to be met with silence, distortion, or harm. This piece carries the sorrow of knowing someone, loving someone, and realizing that reaching out to them became the greatest regret of your life. It doesn’t name the relationship. It doesn’t need to. If you’ve ever poured yourself into someone who chose not to see you, you’ll understand. The violins are playing—and not because it’s beautiful, but because it’s over.

Sometimes the only thing louder than the pain is the not knowing. The way the questions echo in the quiet: Why did they do this to me? Why are they like this? This piece isn’t about closure. It’s not about forgiveness or healing or tying it up in a neat bow. It’s about giving voice to the ache. About finally letting the questions breathe instead of burying them. Because she deserves to ask. Even if the answers never come, she deserves to stop pretending this didn’t happen. She deserves to say: it hurt—and I still don’t understand why.

This is for the girl they made to believe she was the problem. The one who was blamed, silenced, and made to carry the weight of other people’s damage as if it were her own. The one who questioned herself endlessly, because the people around her never took the time to understand her. She tried. She always tried. And still, they called her too much, too sensitive, too dramatic—anything to avoid looking at themselves. This piece is a reminder. A reclamation. A quiet refusal to keep believing the lie. Because she was never the problem. She was the one surviving it.

Some feelings are so heavy, so consuming, they don’t fit neatly into conversation. They live under the skin, in the silence between words, in the ache of being alive when everything inside is screaming to disappear. This piece is not a cry for attention—it’s a truth. One I’ve been carrying quietly for far too long. It’s an attempt to put words to the weight I live with, to say out loud what shame has convinced me I should keep hidden. If you’ve ever felt like the problem, like the broken one, like you shouldn’t exist—I want you to know, I see you. I am you. And this is what it feels like.

This poem is a love letter to the women who disappeared to keep the peace. The ones who were told they were too much, too loud, too sensitive—so they learned to shrink, to soften, to vanish. But somewhere beneath all that silencing, something sacred remained: a spark, a whisper, a name that had never been forgotten. The Unvanishing of Her is not about becoming someone new. It’s about returning to the self that was buried but never broken. It’s about strength that doesn’t need to shout to be heard. This is what it looks like when a woman stops disappearing and starts taking up her rightful space.
