Inner
Maybe I like being haunted sometimes Peace isn’t always the most capturing story to tell
There’s something about spilling your demons
Pouring them on paper, further away from you
Where they can’t touch you Sharing them with others Thinking they might play well together
Amy Shankle is based in Bakersfield, California. She is currently studying English and works as a freelance copyeditor. She regularly writes poetry surrounding her own struggles with anxiety and depression and is actively working on a collection of poetry inspired by mental health disorders. She strongly feels that we all see the world in a unique light, and that we should all aspire to help others realize we are not alone and we are not to blame. The currents of our minds might be strong, but we can calm them even if we have to ride those waves for awhile.
