Have you ever felt like a stranger to yourself?
Like you're here, but lost?
Just another performing mask in a sea of faces?
Another wandering being made of dust?

Finding yourself and healing amidst dark moments of life isn't the easiest experience. This journey from unfamiliarity to reconnecting with authentic self expression is what Onarietta documents in her début poetry book, A Diary of Soul. In each entry, she records new discoveries, old pains, hidden fears, joys, and hope that keeps her going, through poems and poetic prose.
A Diary of Soul is a companion book for anyone that seeks to learn how to confront and comfort the dark and hurt parts of themselves. It is a guide to finding yourself and creating an identity beyond negative personal expressions and experiences.
•
Each part (Being, Reawakening, Refining, and Becoming) represents the ever-reoccurring cycles of growth you experience as a person, even as you learn to accept who you are, discover your potential, and grow into more authentic expressions of Self.

Original Description:
A collection of poems and poetic prose.
This is somewhat of a memoir.
I have written these notes and poems to make you feel hope and dread, seen and heard.
I have also written them to make you dream, for I shall not dream alone. I don't have nightmares...but I'm rather good at writing them.
I also rant once in a while...or maybe that's what this whole book is about.
I hope to sift through your head as you walk through mine.
Thanks for stopping by.
And please vote as you read :)

The Night Sky is in Her Veins
// s o n d e r \\ - "the realisation that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own" Life can be dark, cold and lonely. Feeling betrayed, misunderstood, chewed up and spat out by the world, its when I get sonder, that I realise I might not be as alone as I thought. This is my autobiography, in a series of harsh and delicate words, painted as a story. Includes drugs, sex, alcoholism, depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal tendencies, assault and other hard topics, so read at your own discretion. THIS IS THE TRIGGER WARNING. I wrote it, with the intention that, if there are people in the world who feel alone and misunderstood just like me, and can benefit in any way by relating to my stories in my poems, then I have done at least one thing right.

Words Unspoken
There is a community of the spirit. Join it, and feel the delight of walking in the noisy street, and being the noise. Drink all your passion, and be a disgrace. Close both eyes to see with the other eye. Open your hands, if you want to be held. Sit down in this circle. Quit acting like a wolf, and feel the shepherd's love filling you. At night, your beloved wanders. Don't accept consolations. Close your mouth against food. Taste the food. You moan, "She left me." "He left me." Twenty more will come. Be empty of worrying. Think of who created thought! Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open? Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking. Live in silence. Flow down and down in always widening rings of being. There's a strange frenzy in my head, of birds, flying, each particle circulating on its own. Is the one I love everywhere? Drunks fear the police, but the police are drunk too. People in this town love them both like different chess pieces. ----------------------------------- All things that we hide in our hearts eat us alive. This book is - full of emotions, love, care and agitation. Well, you need to read this to know what's in. Moreover, It consists of quotes, snippets, poems, bits of advice...Ummm simply deep and random stuff. Go Ahead!

Anatomy of the Soul
This is me-no filters, no edits, just my soul laid bare in words. Anatomy of the Soul isn't just a collection of poems. It's my way of reaching out when words feel like the only thing I have to give. Here you'll find love and heartbreak, but also the messy, loud, quiet parts of life that don't always get talked about. Social truths, personal struggles, little moments of hope-everything tangled together. This is my art, my ritual, my offering. A place where I explore not just the world around me, but the world inside me. If you decide to step inside, I hope you find something that speaks to your own soul-maybe even gives you a voice for things you've never said out loud. This is poetry for the heart, for change, for us. In the past, my poetry was a way to explore and experiment-sometimes searching for connection, sometimes just trying to understand myself better. Now, with Anatomy of the Soul, it's different. This is my space to be completely honest, to share what I couldn't say out loud, and to write for myself first. Whether these poems find readers or not, they are pieces of my soul I needed to release. And if you do find yourself here, I hope these words bring you comfort, a sense of understanding, and the quiet company of someone who feels like you. This is my truth, my voice, my gift.

WHEN THE RAIN FORGOT TO FALL
I wrote this because I needed to survive it. Because there are some feelings too big for silence. Some heartbreaks too heavy to carry alone. This isn't fiction. This is my heart, broken open and rearranged into verse. "I saw you standing where the sidewalk curves, and suddenly my chest knew different words." - That's how it started. A glance. A stranger. A feeling I couldn't ignore. "You said we needed to talk. Those five words, I knew. I already knew." - And that's how it ended. Not with fire. With silence. I won't tell you that time heals all wounds. I won't say everything happens for a reason. I won't pretend heartbreak makes you stronger. But I will show you that: You can survive what you think will destroy you. You can break and still become beautiful. You can love someone and lose them and still be whole. You can be your own happy ending. I wrote these poems with tears on my face. I wrote them on good days when I forgot to hurt. Every word is something I actually felt. Every line is a moment I actually lived. "You are not broken. You are breaking open. And that's where the light gets in." - That's what this taught me. That's what I hope it gives you, the comfort of knowing you're not alone.Complete
