When I was 18 I called my best friend in tears
Halfway through a 12 pack of cheap gas station beer
I told her he left, told her he was gone,
Told her I couldn’t breathe, that my chest felt all wrong.
It took a long time, she gave me a warm shove
Taught me that level of pain only happens with your first love
Since then I’ve loved and I’ve lost but I’ve never hurt that bad again
In fact sometimes in love, I find myself playing pretend.
And it’s been 2 years since the last love took the centerpiece of my heart,
The one you need to stop the whole thing from falling apart
And I thought I was invincible, I thought I was strong,
But you left yesterday night too and now my chest feels all wrong.

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!

All love gone astray leaves the broken heart pain=pain is pain.
The only way to avoid any pain because love didn’t work out and if you remember this quote from me, you will never be in pain because of love going wrong:
“To Love and understand Love, Love must be upper most on your Mind.
innermost in your Heart, and deepermost in your Soul” _-Van Prince
