Splatters of the Heart

Splatters of the Heart is a collection of poems written while I was in an emotionally and financially abusive place.The environment was toxic and operated like a church. Some of the poems written capture my feelings while I was there and some are a reflection of my experiences after I left.Writing poetry has always been an effective coping mechanism that I've used to express feelings of love and dissolve feelings of anger and confusion.Splatters of the Heart will give you a candid snapshot of my life and hopefully provide insight regarding my dismal experiences.Each poem is accompanied by a paint splatter to represent that sometimes life feels like spilled paint, but when it spills on a canvas, it's art. I hope you enjoy the splatters of my heart.
