🌙 Hi there. I’m Skye. 🌙

I’m a 15-year-old aspiring author from Kent, United Kingdom, and this little space, Skyespen, is where I share the pieces of my mind and heart that I can’t always say aloud. Here, I write my poems, my stories, my books—anything that lets me put my thoughts into words. It’s my attempt to make sense of the world, and maybe, in some small way, help you feel like you’re not alone in yours.

My journey with writing started in 2020, when I was ten years old. I became completely absorbed in the Netflix series Stranger Things, lost in the adventures, the danger, and the friendships on screen. Something clicked inside me—I wanted to create my own story, my own version of season three, and from there, I discovered how powerful writing could be.

It gave me control over a world that often felt chaotic and unkind, and for the first time, I felt like I had a place to pour everything I couldn’t say.

But I won’t sugarcoat it: life has been hard. There were days when I felt invisible, unimportant, and replaceable. Days when the weight of simply existing pressed so heavily on my chest that even getting out of bed or showering felt impossible. I’ve been in places where the darkness seemed endless, where hope felt distant, and every small task felt like a mountain I wasn’t strong enough to climb. Some days, I even thought the world would be better without me, and I know how terrifying it can be to feel that way.

Writing became my lifeline. It became the one place where my thoughts, no matter how messy or painful, could have a home. Words allowed me to turn my pain into stories, my loneliness into poetry, and my confusion into something that made sense—even if only on the page. And that’s what Skyespen is for: a place where I can be honest, where the words can be heavy, sad, or raw, and where maybe, just maybe, someone reading them will feel understood.

This page isn’t just about sharing books or poems—it’s about connection, about letting you know that even in your darkest moments, you’re not alone. I write because I hope my words can reach someone who’s struggling the way I have, someone who feels small, lost, or overwhelmed. And if even one person feels a little less invisible after reading my writing, then everything I’ve put into these pages is worth it.

So, welcome to Skyespen. It’s messy, it’s honest, and it’s mine—and I’m inviting you to explore it with me. To read, to feel, to reflect, and maybe, to see pieces of yourself in the words I’ve left behind. Because in a world that can feel unbearably heavy, sometimes the only thing that makes a difference is knowing someone else has been there too.

I hope that through my poems and books, readers will feel a connection with themselves and the world around them. My aim is that you can find whatever emotions you need to feel in each moment you spend reading my work. I usually sit in my bed and let the words escape my mind onto the page. It's sometimes a struggle to feel like my work is good enough, but I also know how much it means to me, and I want to share that with you all.
