poem: still here despite it all – (repost from another platform) – 01/03/22
~~~~~Still Here Despite it All~~~~~~© 2022 Lauren M. Hancockwhat is it about me that this some of this world seems to abhor? Am I not immaculate enough, in and of myself, to be considered something sightly and toward? Someone worthy of being heard? Of not being ostracised, unread, too? Am I something so abhorrent that [...]
Poem: ancient ties – 28/12/21

Poem: Cruel Measures – Audio and Poem – 10/07/21

Poem: The Good Fight – 23/09/20
