Hello, everyone! My name is Nikki Reiter and I'm a writer/author.  I'm originally from Pennsylvania,  but I currently live in North Carolina.  Monster is my first novel.  I am currently working on my second novel. I write about sensitive topics,  such as, mental health issues, assault, sexual assault, rape, etc.  I write my stories in a dignified way when writing about sensitive topics. 

I will be adding short stories. Until then here's an example of one of my poems. 

Anxiety

Anxiety, 
My love, 
what happened?
When we first met
you were caring and kind. 
You kept me safe. 
As our love grew, 
you became possessive. 
And abusive. 
I didn’t see it at first. 
You gaslighted me 
into thinking
I was going crazy. 
You slowly and systematically 
isolated me
from friends and family. 
When I tried to leave the house
you became physical. 
You no longer trusted me
To be alone. 
When you couldn’t be with me
you made sure
your friends¬¬
PANIC, Fear, Depression—
were with me instead. 
You inflicted migraines, vision loss, and
chest pain. You restricted
my breathing
whenever I did something
you didn’t like. 
Every day
you became more unpredictable.  
Oh, anxiety, I’m through.
I’m reaching out. I’m getting help. 
You’re no longer going to be able to 
manipulate or intimidate me. 
Anxiety,
someday 
I WILL be free from you.
