In the shadowed hours when sleep evades the weary soul, we builds altars from the fragments of a fractured world-raw free verse that confronts the ego's crushing weight and the digital haze of modern exile. Drawing from the grit of noir nights and the quiet fire of Catholic introspection, these poems unearth resilience amid PTSD's echoes, Ozark folklore's whispers, and a faith that questions yet clings to Christ's sacrifice in the stranger's gaze. Here, beauty blooms in imperfection: an outlaw's crown forged from internal turmoil, societal manipulations, and the slow, deliberate repair of a GenX heart scarred by life's dust and screen-lit nihilism. With a gravelly edge and a defiant grace, it champions practical gratitude over grand illusions-inviting you to linger at these insomniac altars, where transformation whispers louder than the chaos. Perfect for readers craving poetry that bleeds honesty, critiques the rush of progress, and finds divinity in the everyday grind. Discover the spark of one blood's cry in a collection that lingers like a half-remembered dream.

We grow up believing life moves in a straight line - from weakness to strength, from pain to peace. But his life never worked like that. It was a spiral. Up, down, lost, rebuilding, repeating. This is the true story of a quiet boy who carried entire battles inside his mind. A boy who was bullied, who became a bully, who learned philosophy instead of anger. He never wanted attention, fame, or revenge - just one real friend who understood silence the way he did. Through childhood trauma, lockdown solitude, books, games, and quiet resilience, he learned one thing: Sometimes surviving isn't loud. It's patient. It's lonely. It's honest. If you've ever felt invisible, misunderstood, or judged for being quiet, his journey might sound like yours. Because this boy was never special. He was just real. And that makes his story worth reading.

Becca is an outsider, and so is Soren, which is how they became friends. He likes to watch her write and listen to her read her stories, but also just to watch her in general. That's how he comes to witness her death, and to receive a manuscript that she valued above her life, one that chronicles her life through the point of view of a guardian angel, with occasional comments from other points of view, including Becca's own. But just as the life of the author was cut off abruptly, the story remains unfinished. A/N: The story isn't going to be updated any time soon, I don't know if ever again. I may pick back up with it later and start posting things again, but I don't know. A/N: I've labelled this as complete; I'm not going to be coming back to it. But I want it to be here, if only for posterity.

Grace is on a journey to avoid her reality. Stumbling through other peoples stories to try to rewrite herself into them. Some woven worlds are to help those who were lost, others were there for her to escape facing her own reality.

But as the past begins to resurface, long-buried secrets threaten to tear everything apart, forcing Sheen to finally face the pain he has tried so hard to forget. INSPIRED BY "NEVER LET ME GO".

I called this collection as such cos of the fear and possibly hatred I have for clowns. Ever since I can remember, this is the one fear thats been constant. When I write I tend to use the word "clown(s)" to represent any bad feelings I have. Feelings that put me in a depressed state. I use the name "Deadclown" as a way to deal with my mind when I go through periods of being sad, angry, frustrated and so on as this, in my ideal world would be how I would like these clowns to be - Below is a brief description of my poems * Free Me of My Untruths & I Might Just Die -are about inner conversations I have with myself at times, as I'm sure a lot of people do. I don't know * Lonely Journey - for Kurt Cobain who's been a huge influence in my life * Fractured Solace - about suicidal thoughts which is why I wrote the poem in the shape of a ribbon to honour the ribbon for "Suicide Awareness" * Shadows Steal My Breath - how I imagined Heathcliff to be feeling after the death of Cathy. Written as though I were Heathcliff in an ABC style * The Night I Welcomed Death - originally meant to be a song I was writing but instead altered some of the words, removed the chorus and changed it into a poem * Inside Rape - not about a sexual rape, it's about the way I tend to not give my positive thoughts any room to develop. I always tend to soil them with negativity * The Key (part 1) Death of The Keyholder - originally meant to be a story I was working on (like a Tolkien style Lord of The Rings kind of thing) but it turned into this poem. * Forever My Darkness - There's a lot of letters in this and when I see a lot of letters or a lot of anything I guess, I tend to think of them as people crowding me and making me feel uncomfortable like I don't belong. This is why I chose to seperate the words "This is me" from all the other words. I don't mind being an outsider. Thats just how it is * 9 Titles and Still 1 State of Mind - Using the other 9 poem titles
