Split Your Heart, Not Your Tongue

I am proud to announce that my very first poetry book, entitled This Really Happened is officially complete. I will be going through the editing phases shortly and then you can expect a release on Amazon soon after. Some of the poems you have seen previously on my social media pages but I provide an explanation under each poem. I go into detail about what I was feeling and what happened before I decided to write the poem. It's almost like a my personal journal being shared with the world. I'm scared, ashamed and excited all at the same time. It's easily the most personal piece of work I have ever written and that will be released so far. I will keep you all updated and prepare yourselves for giveaways to support the piece. This is hopefully one of a few more poetry books. I already have an idea for a 2nd one in mind. More to come so keep checking back! -S. Elle Cameron

2017 started off as a crazy year! I moved across the country from New York to Arizona in October of 2016 with my new husband. Since then we've been back and forth from NY to AZ (against our will) but now that I've got a new job at a new company, I'm comfortably settled in Glendale, Arizona. I've been keeping up with my social media (mostly Instagram) if you've been following me but I haven't spoken much of most of my upcoming projects. I didn't forget about them nor have I neglected them. I am almost finished with my first poetry book that I plan to release independently through Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I recently received my independence from my former publishing company, Line by Lion, whom I released RED and Turn It Off through. There is no bad blood but I felt as if it was time for me to take total control of my own work and build this on my own. I have a lot of work ahead of me but I almost think I can do it. As I stated in a previous pos...

It's dawn I hate going to sleep when it's daylight But we always do It's a sickness we have, Me and you Amongst other things  We can't bear to speak But the morning light is worst of all But somehow it's where we always meet,  Me and you We live through the darkness It's the source of our power The moonlight supplies our solar energy But this sickness is getting the best of me, Me and you We have much more to live for Let's stop closing our eyes towards the sun Because the darkness can't hold us forever We're growing older by the second, Me and you  

I was waiting for something But it never came I'm not sure what But it all feels the same There's this feeling I was supposed to get At least that's what they all say But I'm not sure what Because it all feels the same way I thought I had it for a minute But it was a false alarm One second, it was gone The feeling was disarmed I'm still waiting for something As it all turns out But in reality, I did this to myself'...
