Inner Beast: noun- a creature that claws at your soul, hoping to catch one of your mistakes and make you sufferWe're human. That comes with an Inner Beast. This creature, or beast, comes in many shapes and forms whether it be depression, anxiety, loneliness, or stress, to name a few. This is a collection of original poems describing when I've penned down what my Inner Beast wants. It's okay to let it out, just not when it'll hurt someone else. So I write it down. Feel free to unleash your Inner Beast as we go on this journey together.

Joy. I strongly believe in the power that being joyful brings to life. If I wasn't joyful, I don't know who I'd be. Joy is life for me, and it's my goal to help everyone find the same peace and comfort that I do through God and Christ, and the joy that the gospel brings to me and my family. What's the meaning of life? I'm not positive, but I think it has to do with joy. Everyone's life is even more meaningful if they can find joy, happiness, and God throughout it. How do you find joy in your life? It's all about perspective. An optimist can find joy and happiness in practically everything because that's what they focus on. Pessimists tend to be more realists, and that's okay, but being happy doesn't mean you live in an alternate reality. Change how you perceive things, and try to look for the joy in life."I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel so bad." -The Sound of Music"...Find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. For to miss the joy is to miss all." -Robert Louis StevensonFind the joy in your everyday lives, even if it's hard. Then write about it. Keep a gratitude journal to help focus your perspective on joy. Then live it. Live with joy, don't just notice it. Live it. Make joy become your habits, your everyday lifestyle. It will reap plentiful rewards. Cover by @geek-goddess225Started on: March 13, 2019Finished on: December 17, 2019…

A few years ago, someone that I deeply cared about broke my heart. This person took everything that I loved about myself, without meaning to of course, and shattered it - effectively ruining how I viewed myself. It was a toxic relationship from the start, but it wasn't until we parted ways completely that I was able to see them for who they were. This poem is about my journey after we parted ways and how I began to figure out who I was without them. I am urging everyone that is reading this to spread their wings, take a leap, and learn how to fly free without the weights of the world dragging you down.
