Overview
In a world where conformity is often prized above all else, I finally dare to share the random and unfiltered thoughts that most of us keep hidden away. In this book of poems and musings, I explore the depths of my soul and the complexities of life and society. I will delve into topics ranging from love, loss, and heartbreak to the nature of reality, the meaning of existence, and the purpose of our lives.
Through my words, I will reveal my deepest fears, hopes, and dreams, as well as my frustrations and anger at the injustices I see in the world around them. I will speak of the struggles of living in a society that often values conformity over individuality, and of the pain of feeling like an outsider in a world that doesn't always make sense.
But despite the darkness and chaos that sometimes pervade my thoughts, I also find moments of beauty, hope, and joy in the world around them. They celebrate the small victories of life, the power of love and connection, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Through my words, I invite you, my readers, to join me on a journey of self-discovery and self-expression. I challenge you to embrace your own randomness and complexity, and to find the courage to speak your own truths, no matter how uncomfortable or unpopular they may be..
Know Thyself
- Socrates
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 :)
