This is a collection of poems born from silence, survival, and identity. Written by someone who was told to hide, and chose instead to speak. Every poem is a quiet war. Every line, a piece of light. _________________________________________ 'And Strangle them with a rainbow shirt, Because Little broken boys just don't seem to hurt.' - From 'Too young' 'You're a man now, not little anymore, Still so little, Evermore...' - From 'My Favourite little Man' 'Would I too break my toys, if I did belong?' - From 'Mirror World' ______________________________________________ ⚠️BEWARE⚠️- There's too much going on in my poems ;) If you don't relate to my poems, I feel sad for you. If you do relate to my poems, I feel sadder for you. ______________________________________________ 1st Runner-Up In 'The Fathomless Verse Awards' 🏆 _____________________________________________ Remarkable Rankings! #6 in poems out of 222k books on 10/31/25 #4 in Poesia out of 16k books on 11/11/25 #20 in short out of 160k books on 11/11/25 #7 in inspiration out of 30k books on 11/11/25 #2 in Poesia out of 16k books on 11/13/25 #13 in short out of 160k books on 11/13/25 #1 in Personal out of 28k books on 11/15/25 #2 in Poems out of 222k books on 1/14/25 #1 in Poesia out of 16k books on 12/16/25 #1 in Poems out of 222k books on 6/2/26

so hey this is a poetry book in which i deeply share the intensity of my love after betrayal. i wrote alot of poems and when I am posting them now i feel the state I once was in.

where emotions flow like water.

Some stories don't end - they linger, like April rain on quiet days. 𝑨𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒂 is a collection of moments that exist in the in-between - where beginnings feel uncertain, endings arrive softly, and emotions refuse to fade completely. Each poem captures fragments of connection, loss, growth, and quiet realization, unfolding like petals that never fully close. This is not a book of perfect endings. It is a book of almosts, echoes, and afterglow - of feelings that stay long after they should have left. Step gently into 𝑨𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒂, where every page holds a piece of something once felt, and never entirely forgotten. This collection contains poems written for Versification by Poetry Ambassadors profile @Poetry.

Poetry for poetry's sake - art for art's sake, it's all the same now isn't it? We must look for beauty, while putting aside all things that are practical, societal, political and literal. Because what is beauty if you must give it meaning? Just know, that beauty doesn't always mean happiness, it rarely truly does - so be prepared for darker topics, deep thoughts, and maybe, just maybe, a dusting of happiness.

These are the stories I never got to tell. The things I whispered to the moon when nobody was listening. These are my unsent letters, my shadows, my ghosts. This isn't poetry - it's a confession. It's what happens when the light goes out and the memories start talking back. New monologues every week - because pain never runs out.

These poems are all based on real moments in my life. I find writing poetry like breathing. I just put the pencil to the page (all of my poems always start in my many notebooks) and the words flow. The Midnight Poems collection is unfiltered, unedited, and raw. Enjoy!

Countless words trapped inside, waiting to be felt. Dive into the emotions I've held back- the love, the loss, the pain, the plight and maybe you'll find your own words hiding here too. Welcome to the world of 'Words I Held Back' where silence speaks louder than anything.

when I can't express, I write.

"Words that broke me apart and words that also made me whole." Emotions: Shaping poetry, out of the struggles of the past and childhood trauma that played in misshaping a mind and soul well into adulthood. Turmoil: The efforts of finding love, surviving love, and learning to love again, and some only to find it's a fake love that makes you wish for death. Chaos: Creating a poet with chaotic emotions, words, out of control, as I make my way through life, somehow still holding on.
