Talking about mental health is uncomfortable, though so many people battle with it. 
It is a battle that is not won on its own. 

This is a story years in the making, spanning before my initial diagnosis when I was eight years old to when I started writing poetry when I was twelve to when I was sixteen and nearly lost the battle with myself and to the present where I am still just trying to do my best.All Rights Reserved

The Weight We Carry by hagilyforever

Every heart holds a story, and every story leaves a weight behind. The Weight We Carry is a living collection - written in real time, in the middle of survival, burnout, healing, and trying again anyway. These poems come from the spaces between responsibilities: grocery aisles, late nights, applications, shifts, side hustles, and the quiet moments when everything finally catches up. This collection explores the ache of memory, the exhaustion of caring too much, the frustration of broken systems, and the complicated reality of choosing to help when it costs you something. There is grief here, and anger, and dark humor. There is healing, but it is not linear. Hope shows up when it can, but it doesn't pretend to fix everything. Through raw, unfiltered verses, The Weight We Carry holds space for the people who keep going without applause - the helpers, the burned out, the ones trying to build something better while still carrying their own survival on their backs. These poems are for anyone who has felt the weight of the world press down and kept moving anyway. Not because it was easy. But because stopping was never really an option.

The Cage by Sanyaa555

A snippet of poetry from my book. These poems aren't just words, they contain raw pieces of my flesh. They carry stories of my love and the sorrow that came with it. These poems carry the weight that I've been carrying on my breasts for decades. My anxiety, frustration, pain, and the willingness to give up. This playlist will also include themes of violence, trauma, captivity, and deprivation of rights. This playlist is messy. Ranking: #14 in distressed #24 in distrust #53 in poetry

Heal My Wounds by sgsharp

Young author, Garett Sharp, delivers a raw take on heartbreak and mental illness in his newest collection of illustrated poetry + prose. In this undoubtedly emotional collection from the inside of Garett Sharp's mind, readers are taken along on a journey filled with heartbreak, self-loathing, mental health issues, self-reflection, as well as finding the key to self-acceptance. As the author grows, he learns to acknowledge his life decisions, what it's like to live with mental illness, how to cope with heartbreak and devastating loss, and find the strength of mending the wounds from within. Heal My Wounds is by far the largest, most impactful collection written by Garett. The poems range from sadness, rage, and pain to hopeful sources of light and finding peace.

Broken by Lauryn_Love

Have you ever wondered what goes on inside of the mind of a truly broken soul? The mind of a person with severe mental disorders. The one who smiles on the outside but is really dying within. The one that always appears happy. The person that you'd never guess was suffering every single day. Have you ever questioned what could break a person so badly? Have you ever wanted to get inside the mind of that person? This poetry is mine. This is me, opening my damaged mind to be discovered. Inside you'll find the raw emotions of a truly broken soul.

Validity by demonprince79

This collection of poetry is my story. This is all the things I struggle or struggled with within myself, and most of these things I've overcome. The purpose of this collection is to help y'all understand that you're not alone. Enjoy.

Moments of gladness, moments of sadness & everything in-between. by SonnetsByXander

I'm an 18 year old boy with Cerebral Palsy, depression and anxiety. I'm a British Hipster Punk Fuck who has dreams of happiness and independence. Living with my difficulties can be saddening and difficult so to cope I draw (follow my Instagram: alex_likes_airguns) and write poems apparently! The interest in writing is fairly new and I have no idea how to really write enjoyable things. I'm an illustrator by trade so this whole writing stuff is new to me, apologies for bad grammar. This notwithstanding I needed somewhere to store my poems so this book and my account now exists I guess! Enjoy!

THE GIRL WHO OUTGREW HER HURT by kikisvu

"The Girl Who Outgrew Her Hurt" is my story in poems. I was the quiet girl with a soft heart, hard thoughts, and hidden pain. The one who smiled while healing, loved while breaking, and kept everything inside. This book is for the ones who feel too deeply, overthink at night, and keep going anyway. It's about heartbreak, friendships that faded, missing people who didn't stay, and finding myself in the mess. I wrote every poem from the truth I carry - soft, bold, and still becoming. This is me, outgrowing what tried to break me.
