When I was a little girl if I had a bad day,
I would simply close my eyes & make it all go away.
I’ve always had this special talent of disappearing into my head
Shifting reality to fit into the story I created instead.
When I opened my eyes again everything was brand new,
I wasn’t really me and you weren’t really you.
With the snap of my fingers I was an actress in a role,
I never used it to be cruel, I just used it when life was dull.
Even as an adult I make up these universes in my head
To escape the monotony, the reoccurring dread.
Every once in awhile I have this sobering, sudden fear
That I’ve slipped far into the role, that reality’s become unclear.

Hey! I'm Alanna.
I've been writing poetry and short fiction stories since I was in middle school. I'm now 23 and have graduated college. I want to take this time to share all of my creative writing with others who have similar interests. I'm starting this blog to explore new prompts and ideas. My biggest passion is poetry but I have a love for any and all types of writing.
While I use this blog to share my writing, I'm also hoping to explore freelance writing opportunities. I can't wait to start publishing my writing on here!
A little bit more about me, I was born on the west coast but have lived on the east coast for most of my life. I graduated from college in 2019 as a Sociology major. I'm a lover of cats, coffee, horror movies, rollercoasters, night time walks! You can always follow me on my Instagram for more information and daily updates!

Reality is over-rated anyway. 😛 😀
The law of attraction and most spiritual teachings say that reality responds to your wishes anyway (so long as they’re not diluted by conflicting thoughts and desires). 🙂
