Come Morning Come Death

I wrote "Ascentomaniatic" as a response to seeing people give their lives to religion and let it twist them into something evil, all for the promise of eternal salvation. I decided on writing it as a sonnet so that I could use the voltas to show the descent into darkness of the people so obsessed with ascending to heaven, hence the title.
"Dinner Date with the Sky" was my reflection on my time having insomnia. Though superficially it is about people breaking free from stagnation and arguments, I wrote it to process the feeling of never being able to escape my lack of sleep.

Writing has given me the confidence to let my emotions put into the world. I have been able to be the truest form of myself in my writing and nothing else in my life has allowed me to do that.
