Publisher's Synopsis
Taboo Topics
These poems were written at a time of darkness in my life. Mama Angel died in March 2019 and 2 months later my Godmother died. I retreated alone to my wilderness camp for the to grieve, sort out my feelings of anger, confusion, and loss. Every single day for 3 months this continued until it was time to return to civilization and the reality of it all.
My poems are about Taboo topics that most people have experienced, but are to afraid to talk about. Such as, grieve, addiction, depression, alcoholism, physical, emotional and mental abuse and so many more very serious issues. They are RAW!! REAL!! and they happened to me!! I have been on a healing journey since 2019 and continue to write poetry as I sober up and figure out where I belong on this creation. I have been searching for my true purpose on Mother Earth for the better part of 30 years. And finally, after many years simply existing and not living, of blaming the world, being angry miserable, sad and lost, i discovered my purpose, my passion and my gift of being an empath and a healer.
I, Lee-Anne Poirier, aka Leolarp, aka LARPthePOET, am a 52 year old, single, Caucasian, childless, poet, writer, comedian, empath, healer Soul Sister, caregiver, independent human rights advocate, still living in her childhood home. A [please I have been trying to run away from for my entire life. Just to return, beaten, battered, broken and disgusted with myself to lick my wounds and regroup. Once I felt I had healed enough, i would try again, repeatedly. Kiss many frogs, but never found my Prince. My ultimate reason for writing my poetry book was to try and reach others that, I am willing to bet, have through similar life lessons and tribulations. If they can take on iota of information from my poems and say to themselves "Holy Shit! That's me!!" and realize that they are not alone, that somebody loves, someone utterly understands what they went and are still going through. As well as not to be afraid or ashamed to speak up and release the pain and agony that has been pushed so deep down into the furthest parts of their soul without fear of being ridiculed, ostracized, and treated like they are invisible and that they do not matter. Well, I am here to tell them all...
YOU MATTER, YOUR ARE NOT ALONE, YOU ARE LOVED!!
I CARE, I UNDERSTAND AND I AM GERE TO HELP!!
I have a group of women that i call my Soul Sisters. Throughout the past few years, I began reaching out to many woman that posted their feelings and their stories on social media. I would let them know that if they ever wanted or needed to talk about anything and everying, that they can privately message me and i would be there for them. Not judgment, not criticism, no blame, complete confidentiality. Just tow soul sisters with a lot in common, looking for solutions to their pain and to be able to get it out so that they can begin their healing journey. To date I have approximately 200 Soul Sisters across the world give or take.
My mission is to change the Human Condition that has been ingrained in all humanity, that has people terrified to voice their truth for fear of retribution or going against the social etiquette. We matter, we have hearts, souls and feelings. Being treated with kindness, dignity and respect is all that is requested.
I will always be a work in progress! My healing journey is far from over! Every day I thrive to be a better version of myself than i was yesterday! If I can make on person feel wanted, loved, comforted and make them laugh, I have done an excellent job that day!
I am positive that I will go through more life lessons, that is inevitable. However, I have jus found and took my POWER by the proverbial balls and I will never ever let it be taken away from me again.
As I continue to write poetry, while healing and reaching out, I truly believe that I can make a huge impact on many people.
