Poetry has always been my identity. Ask anyone what defines me, and they will tell you “She’s a writer.” I’ve been writing artistically since I was 8 years old. It started the way all tortured artists begin- privately, in leather bound journals, as a way to let some of the pain out so it didn’t consume me instead. Over time it grew, and I began to share my work with others through internet blogs, hidden behind the safety of screen names. I didn’t want to get famous, I just wanted someone to read what I was feeling and tell me I wasn’t as alone in those feelings as I felt. My poems became my cries for help, my plea for support. What I realized, though, is that the very people I was searching for kinship with were also feeling seen, understood, and validated by my words- some for the first time. That is why I give these poems to you. It is my hope and purpose to be a voice for those who have no outlet for their hurt and struggle, a voice that tells them they are not alone. 

I cannot express enough gratitude to the team at Poet’s Choice for giving me the opportunity to reach more readers by featuring me in their anthologies and compiling some of my most important pieces into their own book. Chrysalis is something I dreamed of, but always thought would be just out of reach. Thanks to Poet’s Choice, I am able to reach you today and I am in awe of how powerful that is. I hope this book speaks to you, and that you in turn share it with someone else who needs it. 

Your chrysalis might be dark, suffocating, and lonely-
but your butterfly will be so worth it.

Don’t walk by my laundry stand, I’ve just hung a thread. Don’t send me a text – I’ll climb  between the lines to look for you. Don’t use that still eye on me, I’ll lose my rest, this incubation. Don’t make shadows play trickery in the space I’ve made

Phenomentally Hollow By Faith.Marie 62 lines, I was born in 1962 after Maya Angelou’s Phenomenal Woman Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size    But when I start to tell them, They think I’m telling lies. I say, It’s in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips,    The stride of my step,    The curl of my lips.    I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman,    That’s me.

Ein wehes Verlangen füllt mein Herz, nach irgendetwas, das mir sehr fehlt. Es ist ein milder, bittersüβer Schmerz, der seltsam wohltut und auch quält. Ich versuche, das Gefühl zu ertasten, um endlich wieder davon frei zu sein, Doch der Versuch, mich zu entlasten, taucht mich in eine tiefe Leere ein.

Bäume und Äste verbeugen sich gebrochen und gebogen, in der Saison nach einem großen Winterfrost. Obwohl er von der Kälte und Taubheitsgefühl umgeben war, entstehend aus dem Grau der Schwarz-Weiß-Farbtöne auf enteisigten Stielen,

Bäume und Äste verbeugen sich gebrochen und gebogen, in der Saison nach einem großen Winterfrost. Obwohl er von der Kälte und Taubheitsgefühl umgeben war, entstehend aus dem Grau der Schwarz-Weiß-Farbtöne auf enteisigten Stielen, mehlduzende grüne Eichhörnchen-Ohrblätter zögerlich knospen zart und verletzlich.
