I get labeled the “bitter” girl a lot so I thought I would try saying thank you for a change.
Thank you.
Thank you for abruptly disappearing when I finally started to venture
Don’t worry, this time I promise I will spare you the lecture.
Thank you for not opening the message we both know you’ve seen,
Thank you for the unfathomable amount of uncertainty you’ve given me.
Thank you for reminding me it’s much safer staying alone.
Thank you for re-introducing me to a lethal rejection I’ve already known.
Thank you for not showing me the wedding band you took off in your car,
Because God forbid you hadn’t, things wouldn’t have gotten this far.
Finally, thank you for labeling me as the crazy one when my back is turned,
Maybe one day I can pay you back for all the valuable lessons I’ve learned.
Thank you.

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!
