She recently released her second poetry book titled "The Sun and Her Flowers," which will certainly not disappoint. Here are 17 of the best poems from her new book:

1. “you left and i wanted you still yet i deserved someone who was willing to stay”

7. “you do not just wake up and become the butterfly

-growth is a process”


8.“let it go let it leave let it happen nothing in this world was promised or belonged to you anyway

-all you own is yourself”


9. “wish pure love and soft peace upon the ones who’ve been unkind to you and keep moving forward

-this will free you both”


10. “and here you are living despite it all”


11. “borders are man-made they only divide us physically don’t let them make us turn on each other”


12. “i feel apprehensive cause falling into you means falling out of him and i had not prepared for that”
