In a world that loves to "diagnose and treat," we forget that we must also talk through things, build connections and offer real holistic support. That leaves many living with mental illness to believe they can't be completely transparent with their deepest thoughts in fear of judgement, hospitalization, or being put on medication after only 7 minutes with their psychiatrist.
"Things I couldn't bring up in therapy" is MY open diary, a way of opening up the topic of mental health in a deeply personal way. Poems I wrote in moments of rage, depression and dissociative states are out in the open in hopes to widen the talk around mental health and End The Stigma.

Release
This is a collection of my writing from the past 7 years. Before I started to write, I was a very lost individual, as are most teens, but I was lost in darkness. I was too afraid to move anywhere at all. I hid in the dark, debilitated by my own anxiety, sadnesses, anger, and hopelessness. I was desperate to be loved and feared it the most, I was a coward, I was self-destructive, I would mentally bend my thoughts to the point of bordering insanity. I was born into this world alone, and got too comfortable with it. Maybe I still am, but a fraction of what I used to be. This writing is extremely vulnerable, and potentially disturbing to others, as all my weaknesses, strengths, obsessions with making every moment sentimental, the sickening desperation I've had, the destructiveness, and the constant brutal reconstruction of my mind. Without guidance, it's been absolute intense chaos. Though, there is beauty in the darkness. Everything can be found in the darkness. You'll find that through my writing, I've somehow slowly become exactly what I've written. A living representation of my writing and what I wanted to be. Without myself even knowing it. A lot of my writing themes are based around nature, or some kind of natural aspect. The imagery I paint with natural metaphors is constant, the animals, just like you and I, the plants, and all other living things. I planted these seeds in my mind, unknowingly at the time, where I now feel the deep dark green jungle pressing at the inner walls of my skull. It's all that I want to consume my mind. There's so much to learn. The magic of nature, and it's infinite wisdom. It's as if I have been on this path all along, and I didn't even know what I was doing, yet my body and mind were passively taking care of me. Giving me and eventually showing exactly what I want, and wanted to become. I have every moment, every instance of suffering, and every epiphany to be thankful for. Soon, I'll be at peace from the raging storm.Complete

Vital
Featured on @WattpadPoetry's reading list Stygian Skies and @CoffeeCommunity's Cappuccino reading list. A poetry book that trembles with fear, explodes with rage, and loves with everything it has. It tries to make sense of the past and explores trauma head on in an unfiltered way that leaves no room for denial. It's a documentation of my entire life, moments both sun kissed and dark. A book written with the new understanding that expressing how you feel is absolutely vital. Most of my poems come from personal experience and some topics may be sensitive to some readers. Some themes included consist of toxic household environments, the loss of loved ones, abusive relationships, suicidal thoughts and actions, and struggling with mental illness.Complete
Words that speak from the heart
I have trouble speaking my emotions or talking to others so I write Poems and short stories from my heart
Not Just Words...
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.
