Showing results for "Angst" in Coming of Age

I was 17 when my mum died from breast cancer. At that time, and for a period afterwards, I wasn't able to express myself verbally, so I turned to writing. It was cathartic, though I never had the courage to share what I wrote, let alone attempt to publish my work. I wouldn't claim to be a poet, or a writer, however, 20 years on, I feel ready to share. My hope is that these poems, written while I was still a teenager, will inspire, as well as be understood, whichever way you interpret them.

Brittany is a 17-year-old witch with magical powers she doesn’t want and can’t control. When she is told that her birth father is an actual angel who was banished to a different dimension for fraternizing with a human, she decides to find and hold him accountable. But when she gets there, she realizes he is more in need of saving than she is.
