WHEN THE RAIN FORGOT TO FALL by EnigmaExplorers

I wrote this because I needed to survive it. Because there are some feelings too big for silence. Some heartbreaks too heavy to carry alone. This isn't fiction. This is my heart, broken open and rearranged into verse. "I saw you standing where the sidewalk curves, and suddenly my chest knew different words." - That's how it started. A glance. A stranger. A feeling I couldn't ignore. "You said we needed to talk. Those five words, I knew. I already knew." - And that's how it ended. Not with fire. With silence. I won't tell you that time heals all wounds. I won't say everything happens for a reason. I won't pretend heartbreak makes you stronger. But I will show you that: You can survive what you think will destroy you. You can break and still become beautiful. You can love someone and lose them and still be whole. You can be your own happy ending. I wrote these poems with tears on my face. I wrote them on good days when I forgot to hurt. Every word is something I actually felt. Every line is a moment I actually lived. "You are not broken. You are breaking open. And that's where the light gets in." - That's what this taught me. That's what I hope it gives you, the comfort of knowing you're not alone.

"Things I Never Said Out Loud" by LIA12WREN

This is not pretty poetry. These are truths I was never taught to speak. Here lie the words I swallowed, the pain I buried, and the questions they told me not to ask. For the unheard. For the unseen. For the ones who feel too much in a world that tells them to feel less. I write for you. I write for me.

Scarred Gem by RobiahThabit

A tale of fear.

EPIPHANY by meditatingineden

"I'm desperately trying to heal myself." •. •. •. •. •. I strongly believe art isn't supposed to be pretty, or liked and understood by the masses. Art is supposed to make you uncomfortable, it's supposed to boggle your mind and touch your heart. And this is what I've done. Most of my words aren't pretty. They are the real ugly truths about the things and people around me. The factors that make me who I am. This is a bringing together of the most intimate tragedies and beauties I've discovered in my mind.

My Peace Was Steady Until It Wasn't by KindiBayler

My Peace Was Steady Until It Wasn't is my journey in poems - through heartbreak, betrayal, grief, love, and survival. It's messy. It's raw. It's the truth of what it feels like to love too deeply, to lose too much, and to still find the strength to rise. If you've ever felt broken, if you've ever begged the silence for answers, if you've ever loved someone who left you in pieces - these pages are for you. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction and creative expression. The characters, events, and situations are symbolic and not tied to any real individuals. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

Poems You'll Never Read by Bluntly

You'll find poems about rage and survival, love and longing, isolation and betrayal-every emotion I've ever wrestled with is here, carved into lines of confession and reflection. Some will hit like a punch. Some will whisper like a hand holding yours in the dark. All of them are real. If you've ever searched for yourself in someone else's words, or wondered if your pain, your fire, your chaos mattered, you might just find yourself here. This is my voice, my storm, my truth-blunt, fiery, and impossible to ignore. Every poem is a piece of me-raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic. These are the words I couldn't say aloud, the truths I carried alone, the scars I turned into fire. Poems You'll Never Read by Kaylee Rose is for anyone who's ever felt broken, silenced, unseen, or betrayed. Poems You'll Never Read by Kaylee Rose.

Medicine by Glam_Rock

Cutting open my heart to pour out how I feel. It comes down in floods of blood as words scatter on the floor in a jumbled mess or a pathetic attempt to explain my feelings. A book filled with all of my poetry. Enjoy the somewhat dark and somewhat light hearted rhyming poems that I have written.

When Words Ignite In Literature : A Poem Compilations by BEEttyLapIa

Everyone dreams to be heard, right? We all want to be heard-our unsaid thoughts and feelings. Being scared to judge is crucial in this cruel world. Too scared to share and open up, it will end up using a pen and paper. Through writing, we can directly tell what we feel and what we want. We are free to express our own feelings and emotions without having any thoughts of being judged. Been there, these poems say a lot of what I've felt throughout the years dealing with different emotions in different situations. These poems are my own, and I will be the one to talk about anything.
