I’m Sad and Horny

From actress Haley Lu Richardson--a raw, beautiful, and playful debut collection of poetry about the chaos of being a twenty-something girl in this world.

i always wanted to be a pop star
so i could catharize my woes, heartbreak and general experience of life in whatever vulnerable, valiant, or petty ways i wished
unfortunately i’m tone deaf
so instead, i wrote these poems
i share them with hope you relate
and resonate with the words in ways my favorite songs resonate with me
i hope they make you giggle
i hope they make you feel a little more okay with your own life
and even a smidge less alone
thanks for buying my sad ’n’ horny take on existing in my twenties
love, haley lu
