I named this page S-Words because crafting these words has been an painful emotional journey. Growing up as an autistic child, I struggled to express my own feelings and understand those of others, leading me to repress my emotions for years. It was only a few years ago that I discovered poetry as a powerful outlet for my emotions. Writing poems became a crucial part of my shadow work—a process that, as many who have undergone it know, is deeply challenging and painful.

Through my poetry, I explore the stark contrasts between light and dark, aiming to illuminate hidden emotions within myself and, perhaps, within my readers.

I hope you find resonance and meaning in my S-Words (Selene’s Words).
