Poems From My New Book:Blooming But Barely

I’m getting closer and closer every day to finishing my book of little poems that I’ve been writing for years now. Blooming but Barely is a collection of poems that I have written in journals since I was only a sprout. I’m so nervous to be sharing this but I worked really hard on these pages and I hope someone finds joy in them. 💕✨
