My story

Hi! I'm CoraLynn

Writing and poetry were not really something I had planned or studied for.

Poetry just found me during a time when I truly needed it.

As a mother and a part-time assistant nurse, I realized that life demanded more of me than I felt I could give. Depleted, I started finding myself facing darker days. Days when the weight of depression felt to heavy to carry.

In those heavy moments, I turned with my sorrows to the comfort of writing. At first, it was just scribbling fragments of my thoughts, feelings I could not place, or the soft whispers from a heart trying to heal. Writing became therapeutic and helped me to reflect on the chaos that clouded my mind.

For the first time in my life, I had found my voice. And how liberating it felt to speak and shout all the words I had bottled up for so long.

Over time, those scribbles started to gradually grow into something more. They became gentle reminders to myself and my first small steps into poetry.

They allowed me to create something beautiful from all of this pain from my past.

Between caring for my children and for others, I would find moments to pen down my thoughts and emotions and turn them into poems that speak from the depths of my heart and soul.

Then, one late September evening, I took a giant leap out of my comfort zone and started a social media account to share my writing with the world. Feeling absolutely vulnerable, I doubted that anyone would even be interested in reading my little scribbles. So, of course, I was surprised when, only three months later, I had already reached 1000 followers on my account. Currently, 7000 people have joined me on my writing journey on social media, and the entire process has been life-changing.

My poetry is raw, unpolished, yet incredibly real. It comes from a place of vulnerability, raw emotions, and hope.

Currently, I am working on compiling my first poetry book, which is inspired by my process of healing and growth during my depression.

I am sharing my story not because I have the answers but because I’ve learned that there is incredible strength in sharing our stories.

Thank you for joining me on my journey to keep my poetic voice alive.

All my love, CoraLynn
