Your Kid's Thoughts

Your Kid's Thoughts is a raw plunge into the inner world kids never reveal - the fears that bleed through their minds, the masks they wear to survive, and the quiet battles no one ever notices. Through haunting metaphors and unfiltered emotion, Adrienne Mitchell exposes the chaos beneath the surface: "Mother water and her children try to fight the metal back," "I have a cut... that never heals."
Each story hits like a collision of beauty and brutality - a mind drowning, fighting, breaking, and rising again. From intrusive thoughts to fractured identity, from loneliness to longing, this collection rips open the truth of what young hearts carry in silence. Dark. Honest. Unapologetic. These are the thoughts kids hide. This is the world adults never see.
Adrienne Mitchell is a sixteen‑year‑old writer with a voice far beyond her years. Her work blends poetic storytelling with raw emotional honesty, revealing the hidden storms of youth - the fears they bury, the identities they question, and the truths they're afraid to say aloud. Driven by a passion for both justice and expression, she hopes to study law while continuing to write, using her words - on the page and one day in the courtroom - to challenge, to heal, and to make people feel seen. Your Kids Thoughts is her debut collection, a fearless look into the intensity, vulnerability, and resilience of growing up.
