Let Them Miss You
Let them miss you.
Let them wonder what wild joy you’re chasing,
why you didn’t think to invite them along.
Let them hear your laughter from afar,

About Lauren Bowman
Lauren Bowman is a 33-year-old writer born and raised in north Florida, USA. After receiving a minor in Creative Writing from Florida State University, Lauren focused more on short stories, essays, and technical writing until, feeling the need to better understand who she was, where she was going, and what she wanted from life, she began to explore the power of poetry.
Her debut collection of poetry and prose, The Evolution of a Girl, was born from this period of exploration, growth and discontent that so many of us face while attempting to understand where we fit into this world. Lauren’s writing is blunt, bold, and speaks with raw honesty about her personal struggles with relationships, self-acceptance, and self-love.
Lauren’s work seeks to encourage others to learn from and rise above their own difficulties and doubts, and to find a place of reflection, empowerment, and acceptance.

Give Me That Peace
I don’t need to be the sun;
the center of it all.
Always present.
Always burning. -
This Is My Strength
When you left,
I immediately deleted your number and pictures
and pulled our memories from the wall.
This is my strength. -
When You Cross My Mind
When you cross my mind,
my stomach no longer crisscrosses itself.
When that song comes on, -
Even When; Especially When
Even when you feel like a million scattered pieces,
you are still whole.
Even when you’re unsure of the path you’re walking,
you still have purpose.
