Madelyn Fischer: A Born Poet

Once upon a time in 2016, a little girl decided to make her dreams into reality. She didn't necessarily land firmly planted on her two feet, a little wobbly like a baby first learning to walk, but she understood perfection didn't matter in the face of using your voice and boy was she ready to run.

Words were the one thing I always had. I held it dear and tight, and I wrote in every which way I could think of. I didn't just want to use my voice to speak on my experiences, and set my soul free. I wanted to provide a safe comfort of familiarity inside the darkness. I wanted to heal. I wanted to stand for others that couldn't walk, and I wanted to do it proudly. Poetry was the answer. Was always the answer, and it was always the one thing I kept going back to. Writing poetry works a lot better than writing "fuck you and fuck your rules” on my forehead, or texting “things will get better, hang in there”. Poetry goes beyond the surface, reaches in your soul, and grows in the darkness. I had a lot of it, darkness that is, at such a young age, and it took me a while to find the light. I knew that no matter what, I couldn't let it be for no reason. So I poured all of my pain into confessional poetry. One book, two book, and now almost three. People I've inspired along the way will always be the best part. Thank you for coming on this journey with me, and I look forward to sharing more bits of my soul with you all!♡♡
