If I looked at the clock in my living room and stopped the time 
right now, would it all be worth it?

It wouldn't, because then I wouldn't be able to tell my story 
to you. These words would just be gnawing at my brain 
as I lay in a state of lifelessness. 

This is for you.

This poetry book is about the struggles of heartbreak, and not the romantic kind. It's about the kind that cuts deeper than that. It's about the loss of friendship. This poetry book is about coping with being alone, with finding yourself in places and situations you never thought you would find yourself in. From losing a lifetime friend, to being in a mental hospital, I am here to write and pass on my tale to you in hopes that you may relate and know that you are not alone.All Rights Reserved

Putting The Pieces back Together by genieeb

Hi all, this is my first official post of a book I wrote years ago! I hope you all enjoy as I was a teen using a pen and paper to express myself. So sorry for any mistakes and typos ! ******8 Time doesn't heal all. No matter how long. The seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years...only equal up to more pain. Time never offers a cure; it gives you all it can. Time. Time to remember. Time to relive. Time to feel every little thing it couldn't erase." Ethan- "Replaying an experience is like reliving it. Every word invites a memory. Every memory invokes a feeling, an emotion. It's impossible to say which hurts more. The first time is unexpected. The second time around you think you'll be ready for it...nothing changes. Everything you felt hits you harder." ********

One Thousand Tears by Lauryn_Love

I've tried to release this pain in so many different ways; But writing about you seems to be one of my faves. I don't understand how I find closure When I know it only lasts until the poem is over. Somehow it feels like some sort of imaginary relief to my reality. As if, the pain I feel only exists until the words are free. I know how crazy it may seem Because the heartbreak will always be there; And I will never un-feel what you've done to me.

Before we drown | ✓ by preciouspearl20

A SHORT STORY - saving before drowning. __________________ How many of you could find a real friend to rely on? We think we can deceive fate but fate has its own twisted wheels. Before counting start backwards, let's see if Elan & Evan can sort out their life in the berry-cherry leaves which start to wither as the wind runs forward. (Not your typical love story. TW: mental-health issues, abuse etc)

All The Signs That Lead Us Here!Depressed State Of Mind Part 2; by TheRFFiles

All of the signs that lead us here! Depressed State of Mind Part 2 It's poetic and symbolic all of the signs that lead us here! In a moment in time that you can only see in the past tense of life. Like destiny it was meant to happen. It's poetic and symbolic how even though I read you that letter trying to save my marriage to him in the hospital it was you that ended up saving me in the end. It's poetic and symbolic how in spite of a world wide pandemic and lock down we always found each other and healed each others sadness. It wasn't my sobriety that I was scared to lose. It was ruining the friendship and not having it mean a thing to you!

A Strange Kind of Beautiful by -taraxacum-

Trapped in pages are words I've never spoken. An overwhelming happiness, grief, and love. A walking poem and the hidden poet. To admire from afar and to be loved silently. Surrender my sorrows and bleed on paper and since then I kept this story sacred. A reminder how I made it. A chapter where I stumbled, how crushed and crumbled but still survived. Only with a pen and a heart to mend. I lived.

The Days With No Sun by hello-no-one

Sometimes we fear truth over reality. But things get dark and heavy and we play the blame game. We end up hurting others or ourselves even. We don't think before we act or we don't say before we do. This is the evolution of my madness. A cluster of rants and thoughts and poems for you guys. Everything is written how I wanted it to be rants will be long with few pauses and there will be mistakes I might have skipped over. Aha. Poems at the beginning from when I was 15 years old to now when Im 18. Truly a visual of my writing evolution. Edited by @ChemicalStarling who writes a lot but never posts! Read on, loves. I'll see you on the other side...

The Pieces of You by RayxLemons

If you really want to know the pain and heartbreak you put me through, this is for you. I know you will never want to know what you did to me. It's easier for you to just forget about it and act like it never even happened. Unfortunately I cannot forget. Here's everything anyway, for my sake. #11 in poetry #1 in heartbreakpoems #1 in poems #1 in sadpoems

poems for you. always for you. ✓ by mari_thepoetess

poems for you. poems for the ex best friends and the lost 'forevers'. poems for the memories that burn and fade before burning again. poems for the emptiness that is heavy and hollow in hearts. poems for the fleeting, fiery moments of happiness that are always worth it in the end. poems for the words that have saved me, the words that i hope will travel the whole world to find you. poems for me. (misc collection ~ some are love poems, sad shit, prompt-inspired, etc) cover credit: @leolantsov #1 on 'teenpoet' Jan. 4, 2021 #1 on 'originalpoetry' Feb. 6, 2021 #1 on 'poetess' Feb. 25, 2021 #1 on 'mypoetry' Apr. 28, 2021 #1 on 'poetic' Jul. 25, 2021

Hurt Beyond Repair. by disorderpoetry

Hurt and frightened and no where to turn except for my journal. Curse words being streamed at me and you would have thought I had a father for a sailor. ~E.M.C Many poems focusing on the subject of Mental Illness, that many suffer with and the subject just isn't brought up enough. Poems focusing on a day in the shoes of a person with a mental illness and how some even ordinary simple tasks may seem not so simple to them. There may be some uplifting poems but also raw ones filled with real emotions, things I've experienced. \\ Notes from me the poet: Some aren't all poems I guess you could say but these are my feelings and maybe some of you can relate :) feel free to comment or message me with any questions, feedback or suggestions I greatly appreciate anything!
