Kendra Lee

Hi there! :)

I'm Kendra, the author of the poetry book "She Grew Petals". I started writing poetry at the age of 11 as a coping mechanism for my severe mental illnesses. I had no outlet or any way to release the things that were so heavily kept inside, until I started writing. From there on, I have continued to write. Many of my poems I wrote to never be read by anyone. That was until I shared one poem that had so many people telling me to share my work. I got the courage to start putting a book together and after I had graduated from high school, I decided to finally get it all put together to publish. I'm no professional writer or poet, I simply write as a way to deal with my life situations. Publishing a book and putting my work out there at the age of 18 was incredibly scary, but my goal is to help just one person feel less alone with something they have gone through, a certain feeling they feel, or just simply having mental illness and all the hardships that come with that. I continue to write and hope to publish more books along the road. I hope my poems reach you well, whether they resonated with you, touched you, made you informed, or was just a read.
