Has anyone else seen this Canadian poet’s book May I Wear Your Crown?

Re: Roses are red, violets are blue, here's a poetry thread, from me to you! (TW)
Survival on the edge of death with a smile on my face is a torture I will never forget
I put up a fight the way you wanted me to
Not to save me but to save you
Worried faces looked me in the eyes and I told lies
I did it all to protect you and I don’t know why
You betrayed me in every possible way
Yet I betrayed the ones who cared for me
I felt guilt, shame and disgust every time because that is not who I am at my core
You made me ugly
You were full of lies
I was a fool to believe you were telling the truth half the time
I trusted you when I should of been trusting the ones who were by my side fighting to keep me alive
While you stayed polluting my mind
so I ask one last time
Free me from the toxic chokehold
Let me be free and no longer fighting the devil inside

Re: Roses are red, violets are blue, here's a poetry thread, from me to you! (TW)
Hello @TAB iest,
This has made my day. Thankyou for tagging me here. I am only on page first page - Oh wow @Jacques - you explained my experience with soothing completeness. Thankyou for sharing. Strange, how random stumbling on a phrase, or words, can give so much inspiration & healing - that I wait for an hour with my professional people's.
I think the paragraph about anxiety was closest to me, all of it was totally realtable. Thankyou🌟❤️☮️
And @Jynx whoa - there is impressive, profound artist in you. He didn't deserve your ass 🥰 (or she, sorry) It was pre monition it seems like to me. How do we fall in (what we believe is) love, & then it shocks the core. What is love & what is hunger? I sense hunger in your words, & hope xx I hope you don't mind me commenting. I'm so happy to be part of this thread.
Basically - super impressive!!!!
We each have a unique melody inside of us. It is easier to hear through poetry.
Thanks Everyone
