Cathartic Stories

Born to Be Loved is a chapbook of poems that moves through the quiet violence of longing, the confusion of becoming, and the fragile hope of learning what love actually asks of us. Across these pages, love appears in many forms: devotional, distorted, imagined, withheld, and redefined. It becomes a star seen from too far away, a mirror that refuses certainty, a language spoken between ache and attachment. These poems trace what it means to grow up inside emotional intensity-where identity is shaped by who we love, who we lose, and who we try to become in return. At its core, this collection is not only about being loved, but about questioning what it means to deserve love, to mistake it, to resist it, and to finally imagine it without harm or illusion. Born to Be Loved is for anyone who has ever tried to earn tenderness, rebuild themselves from longing, or find clarity in the space between devotion and self-discovery.

We all struggle with the darkness in our hearts.

Lotanna is done with the church. She can feel her faith chipping away bit by bit like pieces of wood under the abuse of a diligent carpenter and she isn't necessarily upset about it, though. Well, it takes a unique (to say the least) spiritual encounter that leaves her and two other kids dead for her to begin to believe in the divine once again. She is given another lens of life along with a mission. Her miraculous revival charms many around her but as her mission continues, she will soon have as many enemies as she does friends. Fret not, she is not alone. Besides, how much harm can come to you when you are basically a few feathers short of being an angel.

the title is self explanatory

Following the events of Chapter 1, Ghost tries to maintain his usual cheerful demeanor despite encountering Daichi and Miyuki on his way to school. Their taunts about a past incident affect him more than he shows, and his friends notice his distraction. The chapter then delves into a detailed flashback from two and a half years ago, revealing the truth behind the false accusation that haunted Ghost's past. We see how Daichi, a wealthy and influential student, framed young Ghost for harassment after Ghost tried to protect a younger student from being bullied. The flashback shows the devastating aftermath: · Ghost being shunned by students and teachers · Vandalism against his reputation · His isolation and pain · The unwavering support of his childhood friends We witness how Luna, Takuya, Kenji, Haruka, and Yuki united to prove Ghost's innocence. Each friend contributed their unique talents: · Kenji analyzed inconsistencies in the accusations · Yuki hacked Daichi's accounts for evidence · Haruka reached out to Miyuki with compassion · Takuya stood ready to fight for justice · Luna never wavered in her belief in Ghost The chapter also shows the support of their parents, particularly Luna's father, who trusted Ghost despite the rumors. Through Haruka's kindness, Miyuki confesses the truth, leading to Daichi's expulsion and Ghost's vindication. The chapter ends in the present, with Ghost and his friends stronger than ever, their bond deepened by shared adversity. Luna and Ghost share a quiet moment on the rooftop, and Ghost finally acknowledges that he has found a true family in his friends.

This is a short little story that covers what I felt during an emotional highlight a little while ago. I wrote this on a piece of notebook paper originally, but I felt that I should get it out here.

This is a collection of the poetry that I have written over the years that have helped me deal with the things I was going though at the time. Some have been published, some have remained close to my chest for a while. All are copyrighted and my original work.

Third place winner in the Rose Awards 2022. ------------- Catharsis (noun) : /kəˈθɑːsɪs/ ; the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions. We all have our own escapes. Escapes from this dark, dreary world which gets too suffocating sometimes. Whenever we are in desperate need of a release from these terrible, predatory emotions and securities; we turn to do whatever we enjoy doing the most. The one thing that makes us feel untroubled and contended. For me, it has always been writing poems. Weaving my feelings into words is a challenge; a challenge I enjoy and want to pursue whole-heartedly for my entire life. So come along with me in the journey of healing, through the process of catharsis. Copyright- @izzytotherescue . . . (definitions from Google) (cover template from Canva)
