    This poem is a raw and unflinching reflection on surviving intimate partner abuse. It captures the terror, betrayal, and heartbreak of loving someone who became a source of violence and control. Through vivid imagery, it shows the suffocating fear of living with a narcissistic abuser, yet also the resilience, healing, and hope that follow escape. At its core, it is a testimony of strength, survival, and the longing for a love that heals rather than destroys.

    Anna Petrova is living on the run-haunted by a past that refuses to stay buried. In the quiet town of Ashgrove, she's finally found a place to disappear. A fake name. A quiet job. A careful life. But secrets like hers don't stay hidden for long-especially when the shadows start closing in. Carter Reyes is undercover, sent to watch her.

What starts as surveillance quickly turns into something more complicated as he discovers she's not the criminal they warned him about... she's the target. Told in alternating perspectives between Anna and Carter, this story weaves together a slow-burn conspiracy, buried identities, and a fragile alliance between two people who should never trust each other-but might be each other's only chance at surviving what's coming. Because Anna isn't just hiding from her past. She might be the last person alive who can expose it.

    Hey everyone, I've started publishing a book anonymously. It's about growing up in a violent home, surviving trauma, and trying to find peace. I'm not a professional writer. I'm just someone who decided to speak - after years of silence. The story is called: "Looking Where No One Dares to Look" I'm 23. My name isn't Ahmed. But yes - I am Ahmed. I want to share this story for those who feel alone. For those who grew up like I did. And for anyone who just needs to know: You're not crazy. You're not weak. You're not alone. ⚠ Trigger Warning: This story contains themes of domestic violence, emotional abuse, depression, suicidal thoughts, and childhood trauma. Please take care while reading - and don't read alone if this could trigger you. You matter. Always.

    Born from chaos and raised in silence, this is the story of a child who never had the chance to just be a child. Abandoned by the comfort of family and pulled into the harsh reality of foster care, the narrator of this brutally honest memoir reflects on a life shaped by grief, addiction, generational trauma, and survival. Through vivid memories and unfiltered emotion, they unravel the pain of growing up in a family torn apart by dysfunction-where love was withheld, voices went unheard, and healing was a distant dream. This is not a story of happy endings. It's a story of what happens when a child is handed nothing but broken pieces and told to build a life. Unapologetic, haunting, and deeply personal, this is a journey through loss, loneliness, and the search for peace in a world that never offered it. For anyone who has ever felt like the black sheep, the forgotten child, or the one holding all the weight-this book is for you.

    "She lost her name on one rainy night and gained a family, a new identity... and a love she never saw coming." At fifteen, she ran from the voices, the fists, blood on her palms, knees scraped and a scream lodged in her throat. She remembers, Rain. Fog. Screams. A car screeching. Then-darkness. Ten years later, she is Dr. Ayra Mehta, a successful psychologist, still haunted by memories she can't fully grasp and with a heart she refuses to let anyone near. "They say trauma buries itself. But mine sleeps with one eye open." The adopted daughter of the Mehtas'. Sister to the dramatic, doting Aarav. And now, fate is knocking again - this time at the dinning table, in the form of an arranged marriage proposal. Aaravs' best friend. The Mehtas' business partner. And the man her parents have chosen for her arranged marriage. Vivaan Rathore - the golden retriever with a sharp tongue for the world and a soft heart for her. A loyal son, a ruthless businessman, and a quiet romantic who's been watching her from a distance for years. When their families suggest an arranged marriage, he agrees without hesitation. She agrees because saying no feels like betrayal. "Love isn't the hardest part. Trust is." Aarohi doesn't believe in fairy tales. Not when nightmares still wake her at 3 a.m. Not when the truth threatens to burn down everything she's rebuilt. Because memory doesn't knock when it returns. It breaks the door. Two families. One hidden past. A bond waiting to be rediscovered.

    I've been drowning in a world that feels like it doesn't see me. Days blur together in pain, anxiety, and depression so heavy I can barely breathe. I've watched life slip through my hands, fought battles inside myself that nobody else even notices, and carried burdens that feel impossible to put down. I've been misdiagnosed, medicated into near nothingness, spiraled into darkness that almost claimed me, and yet here I am - still breathing. I've felt the pull of pills, substances, and moments so raw that every breath felt like a fight. I've been alone in small apartments, on blow-up mattresses, barely eating, barely moving, barely surviving. I've watched the system fail me, friends drift away, family stay distant, and yet still I fight. Every panic, every cry, every sleepless night - I've carried it all, and I write it down because someone has to see it. Someone has to feel it. This is a story of survival in silence, of battling inner demons nobody else sees, of raw, unfiltered truth. No edits. No sugarcoating. Just pain, struggle, hope, and the fight to exist in a world that feels like it wants me gone. If you've ever felt unseen, unheard, or broken, this is for you.
