Magic amplifies feelings, feelings amplify magic. Users of magic should be careful that their heads are cool and their hearts are calm when using magic. It's really tough for Naturals, who are using magic all the time, no matter if they're thinking about it or not.

Lilia Martinson has always wanted to be a mage from an early age. From an early childhood, Lilia has also loved girls - a fact that she has not kept hidden until recently when she turned 17. And now, she's going to attend a school for magically gifted people.

But then she bumps into a Rose Caldwell, a pink-haired girl who appears cold and distant, almost rudely so. Lilia can't keep her eyes away from her, though. In a world where powerful feelings can literally kill, falling in love sounds like a bad idea gone worse for a Natural. But, you "Can't Help Falling in Love with You..."

This is a poem about my friend who is a lesbian stuck in an abusive, homophobic, misogynistic home. Please give her some love.

A poetry collection written by yours truly during the month of March 2020, about being queer and self-identity. I personally identify as queer, so this is an #ownvoices collection. Feedback is welcome but not homophobic hate please!

Poem #11 onwards has been written for Camp Nanowrimo April 2020.

My experiences with identity.
