Beneath the Surface: Just Some Poetry
A collection of poems by me
The Prayer I Never Made
Title: The Prayer I Never Made Genre: Emotional Fiction / Drama Description: > What is a prayer, really? A cry for help, or a quiet way of holding on to life? Some goodbyes aren't spoken - they're carved into prayers, and buried in unanswered words. >This is a story of grief, of love, and of the fragile thread we call faith - stretched thin by pain, but never quite broken. >For anyone who ever loved, waited, doubted, or prayed - this is for you.
Fate or Coincidence
This is a deeply personal, memoir-style journey through love, trauma, and resilience. Told through the raw and reflective voice of the writer, the story traces her relationship with K-a boy who entered her life during one of its darkest chapters. What begins as a quiet love formed in the shadows of grief soon becomes a lifeline, a bond that offers hope in the face of abandonment, violence, and heartbreak. But love alone is not enough to heal all wounds. As time passes, silence grows, promises break, and the author is left to pick up the shattered pieces of herself. Set against a backdrop of family conflict, emotional scars, and a search for identity, this is not just a story about first love lost-it's about survival. It's about the courage to walk away, the strength to heal, and the quiet power of finally choosing yourself.Complete
When the World Leaves You Behind
When the World Leaves You Behind isn't here to sugarcoat the truth-it's here to rip the blindfold off. This book is for the ones who have felt abandoned, who have learned the hard way that life doesn't play fair. It's a raw and unfiltered exploration of the realities we all face but rarely talk about. Through a mix of essays, reflections, and poetry, this book will take you deep into the truths that shape us: love that isn't enough, loneliness that teaches, pain that transforms, and the undeniable fact that the world owes us nothing. This isn't a self-help guide-it's a wake-up call. Some pages will comfort you, others will wreck you, but all of them will make you feel.Complete
Tales of A Tortured Poet
A collection of the things I can't seem to say. The things that plague some of us at 2am, a bitter goodbye, a loving hello, lost friendships, and identities. I'm just a recovering addict trying to navigate the minefield that is reality.
"Things I Never Said Out Loud"
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.Complete
Embers and Petals
In Embers and Petals, the quiet fragments of healing meet the gentle art of self-acceptance. Through fifty deeply personal and reflective chapters, this book takes readers on a journey of rediscovering themselves-where pain becomes the soil from which strength blooms, and where even the smallest ember of hope can ignite transformation. Each page blends poetry and introspection, unraveling the beauty hidden within flaws, heartbreaks, and silent battles. Embers and Petals is not merely a story of healing-it's an embrace for every soul learning to rise from ashes while carrying the soft grace of petals.
Resilience
I never planned on telling my story. Truth is, I've spent most of my life holding it in, swallowing the pain, laughing off the shade, putting on a mask when deep down I was fighting battles no one could see. But the older I got, the more I realized silence can eat you alive. And if I don't tell it raw and unfiltered, then who will? This book isn't polished for perfection. It's not sugarcoated, it's not dressed up to make anyone comfortable. It's me, The struggles, the lessons, the laughter, the embarrassing moments, the heartbreaks, the love, the shady comebacks, the nights I thought I wouldn't make it, and the mornings I woke up ready to fight again. I named this book Resilience because that's exactly what my life has been about. No matter how many times I was knocked down by people I loved, by family pressure, by toxic love, by my own mistakes, I got back up. Bruised, maybe. Bitter, sometimes. But never broken. So if you're holding this book, know this is, you're not reading some perfect fairytale. You're stepping into my world. One filled with chaos, comedy, culture, love, and pain that shaped me into the person I am today. And maybe, just maybe, you'll find pieces of yourself in these pages too. This is my story. Raw. Real. Resilient.
