"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.

House Flies on Daisy Vines - A Collection of Poetry by asc7777

In this somewhat experimental collection of poetry, House Flies on Daisy Vines, explores a variety of topics including, the ins and outs of American hatred and culture, growing up from a traumatic and lonesome childhood, immense heartbreak, love, forgiveness, unforgiveness, the beauty of nature, obscure and somewhat off-putting fantasies, feminine ideals, and much more.

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.

The Imperfect Bloom by Jermaine052406

This collection of poems offers an intimate glimpse into the mind and life of a passionate, intelligent, stubborn, kind, and contemplative young person aged 17-18, who is dedicated to writing. The narrative is both poetic and heartbreaking, exploring themes of romance, grief, identity loss, self-reflection, and the struggle with mental health. As he seeks to convince the world that he's not crazy for feeling the way he does, he becomes increasingly obsessed with the fractured aspects of his life. This journey of self-discovery encompasses hidden love, heartbreak, and trauma. How will the story end? Will he manage to navigate his scattered thoughts and emotional burdens, or will he sink deeper into despair? Discover the answers in this beautiful exploration of poetic life and more.

The Wound in Me by Bogdessa

This book is inspired by a true story. A girl once lived through every feeling you will read about here. But as the author, I chose not to give you all the pain - instead, I wove in fragments of fantasy. Between reality and imagination, the truth still breathes.

The Songs of The Gullible Wiseman: The Early Poems of Maddy Kobar 2008-2013 by RomanticWriterfrom93

A young writer's newly released first collection of poems. Written during the tumultuous and at times troubling years of high school and the more forgiving and enlightening years of college, Maddy Kobar captures what it was like to have come of age in the last few years. These poems touch on personal levels with hope and hopelessness amid the most confusing years of one's life as well as some of the larger issues facing our society- such as women's rights, LGBTQ equality and the fragile state of the environment. The poems are broken up into four categories; Love and Disappointment, At Desperation's Door, Voices That Speak for Themselves, and Life's Lies Unveiled (or Truths that must be told). This collection was originally released on Amazon in Summer 2013. I honestly want more reads and reviews on ALL my writing so I'm going to re-release this collection as a 2nd edition now for Wattpad. This edition may have differences from the 1st edition. I'm not partial to poetry any more. The quality varies between the poems. I wrote them all between the ages of 14 and 20.

Things I Wasn't Supposed to Say: A Journal of Silent Battles and Unspoken Truths by TheMantra

They told me to stay quiet. To smile, to endure, to bury the words that burned inside me. But silence is heavy. And sometimes the only way to survive is to write the things no one wants to hear. This book is a collection of truths-raw, tender, and unapologetically human. It speaks of invisible wounds, love that aches, hope that refuses to die, and the quiet rebellion of being yourself in a world that demands masks. If you've ever felt too much, stayed unheard, or carried a storm inside- these words are for you.
