My Poetry Stash by Izakai_Lord

Welcome to My Poetry Stash Forget everything you think a poetry book should be. This is a hidden stash of thoughts, a labyrinth of musings, and a journey through the untamed corners of my mind. Inside, you'll find fragments of life's mysteries, brief flashes of clarity, and questions without answers - all woven into a tapestry of emotion, imagination, and wonder. Will you dare to wander in? This is a place where whimsy dances with introspection, shadows stretch long, and chaos murmurs secrets to the curious. You might stumble upon the echo of a forgotten dream, the flicker of a buried truth, or a mirror reflecting something uncomfortably familiar. Moonlight breaks through thought-darkened skies, leaves crunch beneath your feet, and each turn offers something unexpected. Not all paths lead where you expect - and some truths may ask more of you than you're ready to give. These poems are more than words. They're invitations, riddles, and companions on a winding trail. The terrain is wild, the views dizzying, and the journey - unpredictable. So consider this your invitation. There are no guarantees here. Just questions, reflections, and the thrill of exploring something real. Come prepared. Bring your curiosity, your courage - and maybe a flashlight. Good luck, traveler. You're going to need it. Inside this stash lies more than poetry - it's a map of meaning, mischief, and mystery.

RHYMES OF MELANCHOLY by ashamelessintrovert

POEM COMPILATION *** Under the gaze of the moonlight, The stars asked three people that night, "What will you give in exchange for my light?" The doctor answered, "I'll give you my sight, So you will see the world in someone's eyes." The teacher said, "I'll offer you my wisdom, So you will build knowledge in your kingdom." The last one who talk only seldom, Stared at the stars with a lonely smile, "I am a poet, and I will not lie, I cannot give you a sight, nor I can be wise, I have nothing in my life but sadness only, So I offer you the RHYMES OF MY MELANCHOLY."

The Light in the Dark (Completed) by LittleSparrow16

Cover made by the amazing @mikeyspizzadope (go check them out they're cool) It's 3 A.M., and you can't sleep. Your heart feels like it might burst out of your chest. Your ears are ringing, echoing in your brain, and everything hurts so badly. Your vision is going blurry as you try to fight back the tears, and you're wondering why you even try anymore. At one point or another, most of us have experienced the feeling of worthlessness, shame, or guilt. We feel like we're at rock bottom, and it seems like nothing will ever get any better no matter how hard we try. One thing we do know for sure, though, is that where there is dark, there is bound to be light, no matter how small that speck may be. There's always hope, no matter how far out of reach it may seem. There's always light in the dark. TW/CW: mentions of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts. "I know that even when things seem dark and at rock bottom, there's always hope. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. As small as that little shaft of light may seem, it's not out of reach." - something a friend of mine once told me All of the poems in this book have been written by me. Completed on August 22, 2020

Not Just Words... by Claudushka

Not Just Words... is more than a collection of poetry...it's a raw, unfiltered journey through the landscapes of mental health, vulnerability, and resilience. Blending powerful verses with personal reflections, this book dives deep into the experiences of depression, anxiety, and the quiet battles we all fight within. For anyone who has ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or broken, these poems serve as a voice when words fail. They are a friend for the moments when life feels too heavy, and a source of hope for those searching for light in the darkness. Through every verse, I confront the shadows that have haunted me and, in doing so, invite you to reflect on your own struggles. The emotions here are real...sometimes painful, sometimes healing, but always genuine. This book isn't just a window into my soul...it's an invitation to face your own inner battles, to feel seen, and maybe even understood. How do you describe what it feels like to be human, to hurt, to heal? Maybe you don't. Maybe the words within these pages will do that for you. Not Just Words... is for anyone seeking connection, comfort, and the reassurance that they're not alone.

Beneath The Light of a Dying Star by nonbin-nonbe

In these pages, the world is both light and heavy-sometimes in the same breath. This is a catch-call collection of my own poetry, prose and/or lyrics that I've accumulated over the years that I related to and enjoyed writing and re-writing. I don't know, I just hope you enjoy them or find some comfort in them as well. :) Also, possibly relevant, I'm queer, autistic/adhd and very traumatized so if you relate, you might, like idk, relate to these maybe or they may be a little too real??
