About
Hi! I am a lifelong poet who’s goal is to bring awareness and advocate for mental health. Drawing from my personal experiences of grief, PTSD, trauma, and estrangement, I discovered the power of poetry as a powerful form of therapy to navigate the roller coaster of emotions.
When I faced the complexities of life’s sudden challenges, my goal is to show a reflection of my journey—a blend of vulnerability, strength, and the quest for understanding. I hope to offer readers a glimpse into real raw emotions, inviting them to confront their own struggles and find solace in shared experiences.
With every line, I aim to create a safe space for readers to explore their feelings, embrace their stories, and ultimately, discover their own paths to healing. And to know they are not alone in this battle.
When not writing, Rikki Throm enjoys being outside in nature laying in a hammock, watching sunsets, attempting to be crafty and spending time with her husband and daughter. She lives in the Kansas City area with her husband and daughter, dog Lacey and cat Nico.
Please join me on this journey of exploration and healing, where each poem serves as a testament to resilience and the beauty of the human spirit.
