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.

Life experiences by 123wonderwoman

I've been through my own struggle, whether it was created in my head by way of prolonged sadness or bitterness/resentment, or if I was struggling with things I had no control over like failed friendships, a broken heart, or family drama. This is my advice to you based off of my life experiences. Along with pieces of life experience advice I've included poetry and spoken word pieces from different perspectives and I try to break down life into beautiful words that people can relate to and see that we all struggle- you're not alone and we are each so valuable.

INK THOUGHTS by _MistyGr3y_

I thought of sharing poems with my readers that I started writing mainly for the birthdays of my friends and family, but now I'm writing everything and more, for anyone. I hope you like them and make you passionate!

existential crisis: wellness and health by distressclub

for the ones who are hurt, heartbroken, overthinking, overwhelmed, and feel like they're slowly suffocating: OR for the ones who are deeply madly in love, are terribly obsessed, and or in a state of unrequitedness: "I hope you find the comfort you are looking for"

A Poet's Diary by aia_solace

She doesn't simply cry when she's upset or disappointed, nor does she just smile all day when she finally get to grab that tiny bit of hope. It would be hard for her to talk about love just as simply as bringing up a favorite song, nor would it be easy to talk about a heartbreak. She couldn't just talk about the things that she misses, or even the things that she admires about life. She'd think to herself that what she has shown is only a mere facade of what she truly felt. So for every tear, every smile, every lonesome time, and every hope and fear, she wrote it all out. ::Began publishing on 2023::

Yours Truly, Mooncalf by fuzzbrain

This is a personal documentation through poetry. I am learning to look inward now, give myself love when I least want to. I do not live to love others, I live to love myself. I will find and create what is enough for me, and you will learn to let it be enough for you. 2022

How It Was VS How It's Going by YikesItsJade21

These are semi short poems that helped me think about what I was feeling within relationships and myself. I hope these help others or inspire them to not bottle up everything, it will eventually eat you alive. I have plans on publishing them but thought I would try it out on here first. Please don't hesitate and give feedback! These are very personal and should not be used as ammunition. I started writing this late 2023 and until now 2024. This book is not yet complete!

teenage mind - poetry by BFlowerR

Being a teenager is a wild ride, right? One moment, you're head-over-heels in love, and the next, you're crying over heartbreak. You're figuring out who you are, dealing with insecurities, navigating family drama, chasing independence, and wondering if your friends are your forever crew-or just passing through. "Teenage Mind" dives headfirst into all the chaos, beauty, and raw emotions of growing up. It's a collection of poems straight from the heart-sometimes messy, sometimes beautiful, but always real. If you've ever felt like your mind's a battlefield of emotions (thanks, hormones), this book gets it. It's not here to judge-it's here to tell you that you're not alone. So grab a cozy spot, hit play on your favorite sad playlist, and let "Teenage Mind" remind you that even in the madness, there's magic. Because, let's be honest, being a teenager isn't easy. But it's worth writing poetry about. ❤️

Breathe by ScatteredBrains

Help, I have done it again I have been here many times before Hurt myself again today And the worst part is there's no one else to blame Be my friend, hold me Wrap me up, unfold me I am small, and needy Warm me up and breathe me Ouch, I have lost myself again Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found Yeah, I think that I might break Lost myself again and I feel unsafe
