INSIDE
OUT
HI. MY NAME IS TONI NELLI.
​
I AM A NON VERBAL 26 YEAR OLD POET. I WAS BORN THIS WAY AND THERE ARE MANY DAYS I WISH I WASN'T, BUT HAVE TO MAKE SOMETHNG OF MYSELF.
I HOPE THIS OUTLET WILL CREATE A PATH FOR ME TO SHARE MY EXISTENCE. MOST OF THE TIME, I AM NOT SEEN, BECAUSE I CAN'T BE HEARD. I HAVE HAVE HAD TO RELY ON AN INNER WORLD THAT MOST DON'T KNOW EXISTS. IN MY SILENCE, I HAVE BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD AND DISREGARDED.
​
I HOPE TO SPREAD AWARENESS. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS LIKE ME WHO NEED TO BE SEEN. WHAT YOU TAKE IN ON THE SURFACE IS NOT ALWAYS THE TRUTH. I ALWAYS LIVED BELOW THE SURFACE. IT HAS KEPT ME SANE.
​
I HOPE MY TRUTH HELPS YOU UNLOCK YOURS.
A Silent Blue Flower
JUST LIKE A FLOWER I AM SILENT
BLUE REPRESENTS MY INNER WORLD
