I’m afraid that I have unintentionally painted a lie,
Dressed up and celebrated in sweet short lines.
I’ve told countless renditions of our devastating goodbye,
But never once took ownership for the mistake that’s all mine.
I have a habit of hiding behind a wide innocent gaze,
So when a betrayal occurs, you’re the obvious choice to blame.
But I’m guilty of keeping secrets that will make your head spin,
Manipulate a well-meaning love into a game I want to win.
This time these lines are an obvious confession,
Not coated in honey or a victim of my selfish suppression.
I did something wrong and you never even noticed.
I did something unforgivable and it kills me to know this.

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!
