Conversation With Self
"Retract your talons from her neck.
Pry your fingers from her throat.
Please, unwind your tail from her torso.
She is not a gift to be wrapped.
Hand your keys to the bees on your way out.
Close the door behind you.
There is nothing to look back on."

Conversation With Self is a collection of contemporary poems covering guilt, depression, assault, feminism, hope, and betrayal. This book dives into topics society fails to discuss enough- topics that we need to hear to heal. From Running in Circles to carrying pebbles of feminism, Conversation With Self brings the reader on a story of self-discovery. A story that contains pieces of the author's life- pieces she hopes you will identify with too.
