A book of poems from an amature author

The constant battle between making past people happy and present people happy

Between Quiet Moments There are feelings we never explain out loud. Moments where anxiety quietly sits beside us. Moments where silence feels safer than speaking. Moments where we try to exist without being misunderstood. This collection is made from those moments. Not every poem here is searching for answers. Some are simply trying to breathe through ordinary days, awkward conversations, crowded places, quiet thoughts, and emotions we struggle to name.

"Write things you condemn, you'll feel better."

These writings come from somewhere real. Whether memory, emotion, or something I've never admitted out loud. Some of these moments happened, some were only felt, and some are truths I'm still trying to understand. I won't tell you which is which. I just write what lingers, what pulls, what refuses to leave me alone.

Some things aren't held by love or hate - just the echo of what used to be whole. This is for the moments after clarity, where right and wrong don't untangle what still lingers. Where memory lives loud, and the rules were never written to be followed.

Petals encompasses identity. How it isn't bound by labels but a collection of them. There are facets of ourselves people may never see. We reserve these layers for multitudes of reasons. We exist because we are. Take time to learn about yourself, turn every rock, deep dive, don't graze the surface. Learn, accept, BE.

> Toxic Mindset is not just a poem - it's a mirror held up to a broken culture. In this raw and brutally honest piece, I reflect on the deep-seated contradictions in Filipino society: insecurity, fake admiration, unfair expectations, and misguided values. This is for everyone who's ever felt judged for who they are, or who they aren't. Don't let the system define you. Be who you are. Look in the mirror - and find yourself.

Don't leave... ( old poem of mine)

Synopsis: Lost Love In the quiet aftermath of separation, the narrator wanders through memories that refuse to fade. "Lost Love" continues the story begun in "The Girl I Left Behind" - a reflection of guilt, longing, and the heavy silence between two souls once close. As time dulls the world around him, the ghost of what could've been lingers, whispering through every empty corner. It's not a cry for return, but a confession - that even when love is gone, its echo remains louder than forgiveness.

I hate parties.

crying is okay here...

Five poems. One body. One sky. Anatomy of Rain is a collection that traces the quiet relationship between the human body and the natural world-where clouds become thoughts, rain becomes tears, and survival is a choice made over and over again. These poems move through grey-blue skies, soft grief, and the fragile strength of choosing to live. Each piece unravels what it means to feel deeply, to break quietly, and to still-somehow-breathe life into the world. For readers who love: - soft, haunting imagery - introspective and emotional poetry - themes of resilience, pain, and rebirth This is not just poetry. This is what pours out when the sky and the body become one.

✨ Story Description ✨ *"What Is Life?" by Tunwase Omotayo is a poetic journey through the fleeting nature of existence, the vanity of earthly pursuits, and the eternal hope found in Christ. The poem begins with haunting imagery - life as a cloud, a shadow, a market, a seed - fragile and temporary. Yet, it doesn't stop at the despair of life's emptiness. Instead, it unfolds into a message of faith, reminding us that without Christ, life is but a desert and an empty shell. Through vivid metaphors and heartfelt reflection, the poem paints life as a battlefield, a classroom, and a sacred journey. It calls the reader to walk in obedience, remain watchful, and cling to the hope of eternity. At its heart, "What Is Life?" is not just a question - it is an answer. It is a testimony that true life begins only in Christ, where storms are calmed, nights turn into mornings, and the soul finds everlasting rest.*

i honestly don't know this is just a vent bc nobody will read it lol

She is soft but never weak. Beautiful but untamed. Quiet but impossible to ignore. The Mystery of Her is a poem about feminine strength, culture, and the quiet power of a woman who cannot be easily understood.

[POEMS & POETRY] A world that feels vast, yet utterly silent. This poetry collection is not about loud, breaking sorrow. Instead, it lingers in the quiet corners of loneliness, the kind that does not scream, but whispers softly from one heart to another. Quiet World invites readers into that gentle stillness, where solitude is not only endured, but deeply felt.
