"Did you steal some jewels to make yourself shine?" ​We live in a world that praises the loud, the proud, and the strutting peacocks. But what happens when the noise dies down, the colors fade, and the truth is exposed?

I called this collection Too Much, Too Loud, Too Me because that's exactly what being a teenage girl felt like. Too much feeling. Too loud in my own head. Too much heart for one body to hold. Hormones turned up the volume on everything - the crushes, the heartbreaks, the anger, the joy. One minute I was on top of the world, the next I was crying in the shower over something I can't even remember now. These poems are the teenage me. Unfiltered. Unapologetic. A little dramatic, a little messy, and completely real. They're about the nights I felt like I was too much for people. The days I was told to be quieter, smaller, calmer. But I wasn't. I was loud. I was big. I was me. These poems are the teenage me: messy, loud, insecure, brave, and completely in love with feeling. If you've ever been called "too sensitive" or "too emotional"... these poems are for you. Because too much is not a bad thing. Sometimes it's the only way to be alive.

After the Quiet is a collection of 20 poems about love in all its forms. The excitement of new beginnings. The comfort of being understood. The misunderstandings that pull people apart. The heartbreak of goodbye. And the quiet hope that love, whether with another person or yourself, is always worth believing in.

Rashi once kept a glass of water beside her laptop every day, never imagining that the same water would one day become the reason for her fear. A simple accident leaves her overwhelmed with panic, changing the way she sees something she once trusted. But sometimes, life teaches us that even the things we resent can still be the ones that calm us when we need them most.

Thoughts, Quotes, and Poems A place to show the dreams that appear under the Night Sky. Cover: @dreamsformagic

A collection of poetry by DUNELIS Some things are never spoken. They live quietly in the spaces between fear and faith, pain and healing, confusion and understanding. Where the Unspoken Lives is a collection of poems exploring the emotions we struggle to name-the wounds we carry, the questions that remain unanswered, the moments that leave us changed, and the hope we discover in unexpected places. Six poems. Six different journeys. One place where the unspoken comes alive. WHERE THE UNSPOKEN LIVES by DUNELIS 🎀💙

TW: THEMES OF BODY IMAGE AND MENTAL HEALTH (DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, ETC.) emotions are like waves // but i'm fine // really. this poetry collection dives into the world of the inner soul, exploring places that were hidden away from reality. these poems explore the struggle of staying afloat when you don't know how to swim the waters. for anyone who ever felt too sensitive; reality is colder than you think.

some things are easier to write than they are to say. so i write. i write about him. about myself. about the things i want, the things i lose, the things i pretend don't hurt. i write about love when it feels beautiful. about love when it feels ugly. about wanting someone so badly it scares me. about anger that doesn't know where to go. about the things i say, the things i don't, and everything that lives somewhere in between. some poems are love letters. some are confessions. some are apologies. some are resentment. some are anger i don't know where else to put. and some are just me trying to understand why loving someone can feel so much like losing myself. there are things in here i never say out loud. things i don't know how to explain without sounding crazy, dramatic, too emotional, too much. so they end up here instead. this isn't a story told after everything is over. it's me, in the middle of it. while it's happening. while I'm feeling it. while I'm still trying to figure out what the fuck any of it means. unfiltered. unfinished. still becoming. so if you're into that bullshit ironic fairytale everyone's read before, go ahead and find something else. this one is real. this one is unquestionably raw. and most importantly unapologetically me.

Poems and stories that we all go through and sometimes we don't want to face it or think about it, but sometimes hearing it from someone else or seeing how that person deals with it can help. This book is personal and every chapter, story and poem hold every memory, feeling and experience of my life.

He said he loved me. So why did I feel like I was disappearing? A poem about control disguised as love, and the quiet moment you realise you were never meant to belong to anyone.

Idk interprete it yourself

A collection of thoughts that never found their way into conversations. Of feelings that stayed too long. Of memories that changed with time. Of people who became chapters. Of moments that deserved more words. Some poems may feel familiar. Some may not make sense until much later. But all of them belong somewhere. Perhaps here. © 2026 Koel. All rights reserved.

She had given up on love. He walked in without warning. Together, they discovered that the most beautiful love stories begin when you stop looking. A poetic journey of a guarded heart learning to fall again - unexpectedly, beautifully, and completely.

A girl who was mistaken for weak because she stayed quiet. But beneath her silence lived dreams, courage, and a strength the world could never break.
