poetry slipping out of palms and tricking down the forearms of those who care to try to grasp it

watery words, rolling off tongues in waves 

the tsunami of thoughts pouring through the cracks, desperate to fill the empty spaces between love and hate 

unchartered territory with no name to it in the canyon between the boundaries

dry desert land now drenched, the canyon filled to the brim with these watery, slippery words

because the space between love and hate is much easier to swim than it is to climb.

if he were here i'd swim the canyon right to him,

but since he's left the other side is no where in sight,

and the land of hate beckons my drowning soul with the promise of solid ground while i swim in the uncertainty,

where did he go?

and why did he leave me behind?

This is my first shot at a book that's mostly poetry, you may not love it but please don't hate! Lowercase intended. A work in progress, editing as I go! Mature theme, possibly triggering.

𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 by GentleNotes
18 parts Ongoing
We all have untold stories and unresolved struggles. Life puts us through many hardships, and while we learn a lot from them, there are times when we feel like giving up. Sometimes, we become so numb that we can't even process what's happening because things go beyond what we expect. We carry emotions that are hard to explain to others, and sometimes, even to ourselves. But we need to stand up for ourselves. We have to make things better. We can't let negative overthinking make things worse. Please, don't ruin yourself-there are enough people out there who might try to bring you down. Focus on yourself. The journey of improving yourself is tough and tiring, but it's worth it. I write to inspire people to think in new and different ways. My goal is to help you focus on positive thoughts while accepting reality, even when it's difficult. I don't want anyone to suppress their emotions, but instead to face life's challenges with understanding. Life can be overwhelming, and the impact of events and people isn't easy to overcome, but we find a way to move forward. Through my words, I hope to help you see things from a new perspective. Don't let negative overthinking weigh you down-it can be destructive. It's not easy to control those thoughts, but trying is a step forward. Each day is a new beginning, just like you, so don't let your negative side take over. I hope my writing brings some comfort, holds meaning for you, and makes your journey feel a little lighter. I hope my words help you, even a little. I hope they encourage you to think more clearly and wisely. And if you feel that my words have the power to improve someone's situation, even a little, please share them. Recommend this book to others or tag them in the comments. Lastly, I want to thank everyone for your kind words. They inspire me to keep writing and sharing.

THE MOUNTAIN IS YOU

13 parts Ongoing

THE MOUNTAIN IS YOU By: Brianna Wiest This is a book about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it-for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential. For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.
