What does 'tilting to the west' mean? It is the moment we cease to stand upright in who we are, even for a moment, a piece of ourselves for a day.. . a year . . . a lifetime. How? Perhaps a critical comment, gridlock on a life decision, an accident that shrouds you in mists of negativity, the ending of a relationship. No? It might be the death of a dream, personal isolation until you feel glacial; missing home or Mom.
Many are battling in the war zone of chronic illness or disability until they don't remember 'Normal' or what 'Me' means. Others struggle to adapt to new roles, positions, or homes; Millions are mourning the emptiness-crater a person's absence has created in their daily lives.
The poems within show "tilting" in its various forms, both literal and figurative. This collection includes poetry ranging from free verse to modern Japanese traditions (all written in English) including haiku, senryu, tanka, rengay, and haibun. Why free verse and haiku / Japanese forms? Free verse represents the years and stages while haiku expresses the snapshot moments.

THOUGHTLESS │✔️
The words The petals On a flower that Thrives by appearance Is only Will merely Be a flimsy Taste of what's inside Why price By the eyes The symmetry Of flawed beauty As though As most Are weighed by Thoughtless ideals For those Four arrows A small compass Drifting among lost stars There is Much more Than the words Sprinkled on the outside. ~ [Highest ranking: #18 out of 1.4K in 'view' as of 27-08-2019.] © 2018 JadeFoliage, All Rights Reserved All rights reserved.

PHOENIX: A Pro Hero Toya Todoroki AU
For most of his life, Toya Todoroki was a loner. He was a scrawny, broody kid only known for getting in an explosive fight that led to him being held back. That is...until he met Keigo Takami. Navigating love, his own demons, and the road to becoming a Pro Hero, will Toya Todoroki be able to prove his father wrong? TL;DR: What if Rei Todoroki saved her eldest child from his accident at Sekoto Peak and he got the Hero Arc he deserved? Disclaimer: a good amount of stuff in this story is fanon and not canon, including but not limited to ages, places, and relationships. This is just my own interpretation and spin on what Toya's life may have looked like. The first chapter just serves as a montage and backstory to set up the story; the format of it is very different than the other chapters. The story will focus on Toya's pro hero school life and eventually a jump to the present day. Expect new chapters every so often! NOTES: When a transition looks like this ... ... It means that there is a small time skip or a flashback occurred. (like a fadeout) When a transition looks like this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It means that a whole other scene is occurring, whether it be a separate place or a separate day (bigger time skip) This is also published on AO3! But I wanted to publish on Wattpad as well :) Warning! This deals with lots of mental health issues! Reader discretion is advised!Concluida
A Diary of Soul (Unedited Version)
Know Thyself - Socrates Have you ever felt like a stranger to yourself? Like you're here, but lost? Just another performing mask in a sea of faces? Another wandering being made of dust? • Finding yourself and healing amidst dark moments of life isn't the easiest experience. This journey from unfamiliarity to reconnecting with authentic self expression is what Onarietta documents in her début poetry book, A Diary of Soul. In each entry, she records new discoveries, old pains, hidden fears, joys, and hope that keeps her going, through poems and poetic prose. A Diary of Soul is a companion book for anyone that seeks to learn how to confront and comfort the dark and hurt parts of themselves. It is a guide to finding yourself and creating an identity beyond negative personal expressions and experiences. • Each part (Being, Reawakening, Refining, and Becoming) represents the ever-reoccurring cycles of growth you experience as a person, even as you learn to accept who you are, discover your potential, and grow into more authentic expressions of Self. || Original Description: A collection of poems and poetic prose. This is somewhat of a memoir. I have written these notes and poems to make you feel hope and dread, seen and heard. I have also written them to make you dream, for I shall not dream alone. I don't have nightmares...but I'm rather good at writing them. I also rant once in a while...or maybe that's what this whole book is about. I hope to sift through your head as you walk through mine.

Pieces of Me
Poetry is not just words. It's emotion given form. A place where grief, hope, love, and uncertainty intertwine. In this collection, we explore the depths of mortality, loss, and mental health, weaving personal experiences into universal reflections. Each poem speaks to the struggles we carry, the quiet moments of solace, and the truths we wrestle with, offering recognition to those who have felt the same weight. These words do not seek to provide answers but to remind readers that they are not alone. If you have ever searched for meaning in sorrow or comfort in shared experience, this book stands as an open hand, reaching out. Praise for Pieces of Me. "Beautifully written" "So powerful" "My favourite" "Wonderful" "Inspiring" "So beautiful" "WOW" "Poetry for the soul" "This. Is. The. Most. Awesome. Poetry. Collection."

The Night Sky is in Her Veins
// s o n d e r \\ - "the realisation that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own" Life can be dark, cold and lonely. Feeling betrayed, misunderstood, chewed up and spat out by the world, its when I get sonder, that I realise I might not be as alone as I thought. This is my autobiography, in a series of harsh and delicate words, painted as a story. Includes drugs, sex, alcoholism, depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal tendencies, assault and other hard topics, so read at your own discretion. THIS IS THE TRIGGER WARNING. I wrote it, with the intention that, if there are people in the world who feel alone and misunderstood just like me, and can benefit in any way by relating to my stories in my poems, then I have done at least one thing right.

♡Your Reality♡ Haikyuu X GN! Reader
♡《DDLC & Haikyuu crossover book》♡ Every day, I imagine a future where I can be with you In my hand is a pen that will write a poem of me and you The ink flows down into a dark puddle Just move your hand, write the way into his heart But in this world of infinite choices What will it take just to find that special day What will it take just to find that special day Have I found everybody a fun assignment to do today When you're here, everything that we do is fun for them anyway When I can't even read my own feelings What good are words when a smile says it all And if this world won't write me an ending What will it take just for me to have it all Does my pen only write bitter words for those who are dear to me Is it love if I take you, or is it love if I set you free The ink flows down into a dark puddle How can I write love into reality? If I can't hear the sound of your heartbeat What do you call love in your reality And in your reality, if I don't know how to love you I'll leave you beConcluida
empty ~ kurotsuki
"the secret is to just be empty." his reflection looms over him as if it were a giant wave waiting to devour him. he feels the noose of his subconscious grow tighter, suffocating him with the voices of dysmorphia. as it tightens, his control begins to slip. "you can trust me...they don't know what you need...this is what will satisfy you." in his mind, he is healthy and this is normal to want to be thin. he has to be the spitting image of a national-playing athlete. he has to be for his boyfriend; who would want to date someone this ugly? he has to be for his family; he can't fail their expectations. this is normal. kei is stubborn. too stubborn for his own good. "you're beautiful." lair. "you're perfect just the way you are." shut up. "i love you." why? it may be too late for kei to realize that he is no longer himself. he is nothing but a hollow shell living in foreign skin. inside, he is empty. *** this story is inspired by jaidenanimations and BoyInABand's song "Empty". i do not own the song, nor do i take any credit for the lyrics. i do not own haikyuu or any of the characters. these characters belong to Haruichi Furudate. this story covers mature topics that may be triggering to some individuals. viewer discretion is advised. lowercase intended.Concluida
LATE NIGHTS IN TOKYO (UNPOLISHED VERSION)
***UNPOLISHED*** ***PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE GOING TO READ THIS*** EVERYTHING WORD IS LITERALLY STRAIGHT FROM MY ICLOUD NOTES 💀😂 IT IS NOT EDITED "Late nights in Tokyo is cluster of information from me myself" "Describing my ways" "My emotions" "My thoughts" "In my own personal way..." "ON god i cant stand me dealing with these thoughts because sometimes it gets to me other times i successfully get them outta my head... i dont need to be thinking anythng like this for real...i need someone to save me you feel me...because like i said it isnt healthly to just sit here and feel like this...i gotta find good in the bad and most of the time it is...I wanna help so many people as i can and tell them this is the way...i wanna be peoples light..its sounds dumb but i know how to feel and i gotta get all this hate and dark feelings out" "I made this because I always wanted to keep track of my thoughts and feelings and maybe this will passed on to someone who wants to understand me..." "In a beautiful different city like Tokyo" 1/30/19 "The only person that can save me is myself. I shouldn't depend on nobody else on such deep personal feelings" "Late Nights In Tokyo, The "Late Nights" could mean myself or my feelings, thoughts, mindset, and all in general how I perceive things. Same thing with "Tokyo" I could be in my head overthinking or expressing my emotions flexing my own beauty. Hence why calling Tokyo a beautiful city. My thoughts and etc (Late Nights) are within myself (Tokyo) "Late Nights in Tokyo". Goes without saying, everyone's own way of thinking it's unique and different...everyone has their own beauty". "Scattered thoughts and emotions just written down from an emotional teenage boy, trying to figure himself out".
