Aftermath

by Ashley Rose

with hurting comes healing
and where there was once hate
there is now self love and acceptance
i'm learning how to let go of all my hurt,
my anger and allow myself to heal,
to forgive.

this is what the aftermath of those afflictions.

About the author

Since a young age books have been an important part of this twenty-something author's life, giving her an escape from reality whenever she needed. Ashley, born, raised in Boston and educated through the city's public school system, she found her love for writing through her high school English teacher and volunteering in her school's library nearly every school day for three years. Ashley is a lover of all things cosmic, compassionate, and caffeinated. Tends to think too much and say even more, but when she cannot find the words to say, she writes poetry hoping to get her message across through metaphors and cheesy love notes. Her debut poetry collection, Shattered Pieces, is a collection of poems written over the span of 8 months and will hopefully not be the last you hear from her.
