A poem/very short story about what it is like to continue living after the death of a loved one. This is what life is like while trying to piece together who a person was through clues and tiny scraps of paper. Anyone who has lost someone always feels as though they want to know their loved one more after their death and they search for them in the small, insignificant things that are left behind.

[kodachrome]
Life is as intense as you allow it to be. Some people bring overwhelming joy; others leave wounds that never fully close. [kodachrome] is a journal born from that intensity, where healing through words becomes the only way to survive what cannot be forgotten. Rather than blurring pain into shades of gray, this collection paints it in color: memories, almost-loves, resentment, longing, and the quiet aftermath of heartbreak. Like a kodachrome photograph, each piece is vivid and emotional, preserving moments that shaped a soul in an era filled with sadness. This book contains poetry, short stories, and intimate reflections, written as an act of release, a way of forgiving without forgetting, of remembering without losing oneself. * Mostly fictional, inspired by real emotions and past experiences. 📌 Pinterest board: https://pin.it/397dQqEff
Tales of Rain and Sunlight: Life's tragedies in poems
The second installment of my poetry books. Every poem is different and ranges from heartbreak to light heartedness.
Inbetween
Hello, I don't write to inform you or to show you my life story. I write to show that you can move on from the past and let go. The only way you can move on it is to forgive yourself and the people who have hurt your soul. I write for the damaged, to let them know I see them suffering in silence. This book is about overcoming the hells of life and letting yourself enjoy the good things that you have. I wrote this when I was going through a really hard time in my own life. This book was my safe place. It's a place for me to express my feelings and to be 100% open with myself. I hope this makes you think about what you can do to start healing and how we have an effect on others. Treat yourself kindly, and be gentle.Complete
Understanding You
A young girl, about the age of 14, can't seem to remember who she is. She always seems to have nightmares about feeling like she's falling, in a hospital, and even feeling this bone breaking sensation. She can't speak, but she can understand everything people are saying. The only word she doesn't understand, however, is "you", and this ends up being heartbreaking for her later on. I OWN NONE OF THE MUSIC WITHIN THE CHAPTERS! Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hzIwb_tALwComplete
