The story focuses on the point of view of a young girl watching her mother get treated for a cold at a local clinic. After her mother is treated, she is unrecognizable.
Snapchat Eulogy
I was scrolling on social media and my eye caught a rather shocking headline. This poem is about the article I read and how very serious news is made palatable.

The mind is our greatest asset, one that is used every moment of our lives. Some, like myself, have found new purpose for our minds, as escapism from reality.

A poem about two people who are separated due to circumstances that are beyond their control. Do you think they will end up together?

Memory Lane
This piece addresses the duality of memory—how it can be beautiful but also hold us back from embracing the future.
