I look into the eyes that raised me and I learn something new
Those familiar eyes are just as confused and gentle as me and you.
Those same eyes that seemed so mean-spirited when you were young
Are still developing after all these years, the growing isn’t done.
Those eyes still light up when they watch their favorite childhood show
Those eyes celebrated with you through every high and bared the brunt of every low
Those eyes aren’t the thick metal shield they sometimes pretend to be
Those eyes that raised you are just as human as you and me.

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!
