Selfexpression Stories

The Inventory of Silence.. (a working progress) "​How much can a man carry before the engine breaks in two?" ​We are masters of the "fine." We trade in iron masks, and stoic nods while the truth remains buried in the shadows. ​The Inventory of Silence is a real, unapologetic accounting of the things men don't say. It strips away the bravado to reveal the crushing weight of the quiet hours. These poems are for the men who are tired of holding it together-and for everyone who needs to know they aren't alone in the dark. ​The silence is heavy. It's time to put it down. - Pete

Boy, Unarmored: Things I Don't Say Out Loud is a collection of deeply personal poems about what it means to live honestly in your own skin. These pages move through ordinary days and private battles - work stress and quiet ambition, depression and resilience, love and loss, longing and healing. Some poems explore sexuality and masculinity. Others sit in grief. Some linger in softness. Some push back against it. At its core, this book isn't about one identity. It's about being human - complicated, contradictory, tired, hopeful, afraid, brave. Written without armor and without apology, these poems come from late nights, early mornings, breakrooms, car rides, and the in-between spaces where we actually live. If you've ever carried more than you let on, this collection is for you.

A mini-collection of poems about love, heartbreak, and the fire we hide inside. This collection explores the emotions of loving someone - the highs, the lows, and the silent burning of a crush you can never have.

The bugs' collectors - chapter 1 (unfinished)

I hide behind these words and smile behind these tears. This is two truths and a lie. Inspired by my lonely thoughts after dark, each piece is delicate and mixed with fear and fascination. This is my truth. (The cover and pictures do not belong to me, it was taken from Pinterest.) © All Rights Reserved.

Halloween is the one night a year when gender stops asking follow up questions. For everyone else, it is costumes and candy. For him, it is relief. At eighteen, he is not confused, not ashamed, and not being punished into femininity. He knows what he likes. He knows clothes are not magic. He knows confidence is learned, not unlocked. So for one October day, he opts out of explanations. No backstory. No statements. No think pieces. Just a dress, a plan, and a world that finally agrees not to interrogate him. Told with humor, honesty, and grounded reality, Gender's Day Off is a novella about femininity without fantasy shortcuts, gender expression without shame, and the quiet power of choosing yourself even temporarily. Because sometimes the most radical thing you can do is take the day off.

Lexie,a young writer battles the quiet chaos of grief, pouring their soul into journals no one reads. *"Scattered Ink on Tear-Stained Lines"* follows a journey of healing through words - where pain, hope, and memory collide on the page. Each line is a confession, each page a battlefield between what's spoken and what remains buried. As their world shifts, the writer must face the truths hidden between the ink and the silence - learning that sometimes, the deepest healing comes not from being heard, but from finally listening to yourself.

A collection of poems written in silence but born from storms. This is the diary of a girl who feels deeply, breaks quietly, heals slowly, and rises gently,one emotion at a time.

"Hair grows back, but some scars don't." From heartbreak and healing to rebellion and rebirth, 20 Reasons Why I Dyed My Hair is a raw and colorful ride through the emotional life of a young woman who changes her hair every time the world changes her. Each dye job is more than just a color-it's a confession, a scream, a goodbye, or a dare to be different. Told through twenty vivid chapters, this semi-fictional memoir-style novel blends poetry, personal narrative, and lyrical storytelling to explore identity, trauma, love, mental health, and the many masks we wear (and dye). If you've ever looked in the mirror and wanted to rewrite your story, this book is for you.
