Let Her Go

Wake up.
Let her go.
Eat cereal.
Let her go.
Pull on pants.
Let her go.
Brush teeth.
Let her go.
Breathe in.
Let her go.
Breathe out.
Let her go.
It's time,
just let her go.

  • Eleven Years

    For eleven years, I've been a part of the YWP community. I started when I was 11 years old and I went by my old name back then. I used to publish my work here all the time, but much of my publishing has now moved to my university.

  • A Nine-Year Journey

    For nine years, I've been a part of YWP and for nine years, I've felt seen by this community. Even as I've grown up, I've watched new young writers come and share their thoughts, emotions, and stories.

    As I was selected, anxiety kicked in.
    I wasn't really proud of anything.
