Please Start Making Sense is a collection of 35 poems about the chaos and confusion of existence, from family, friendship, anger, our tendency to look for signs, and where we draw the line between our animal instincts and our human identity when frustrations with the modern world keep building up; the anger, the frustration, the pent-up animal in its cage in the back of your mind, can all of it please start making sense?

Preview - Poem 16, Gentle Work:

Gentle means restraint,
Means holding back,
Protecting something weaker,
There is holy in that,
Gentle to me is at your mercy,
Even if I don't want to be,
Sometimes we exist because we're allowed to be,
By bigger beings, universal symphony,
Everything in my world as its meant to be,
And gently, night and sun,
Rotate, tide-locked, bright-loved,
All because they are gently whispered about,
By the human mothers of Earth,
Becoming symbols of our worth,
And the best kind of gentle work.All Rights Reserved

When the World Leaves You Behind by vummpp

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.

The Strength in our Scars by nonmiappartiene_

By Bianca Sparacino - this tackles the gut-wrenching but relatable experiences of moving on, self-love, and ultimately learning to heal. In this book you will find peace, you will find a rock, you will find understanding, and you will find hope. Remember: Whatever is dark within you has also carved light into your soul.

Amore. by nhiamare

This is a series of short stories, poems and thoughts I've written over the years, compiled into this collection. Most of these were written years ago. Some I've written as early as this year (2025). The purpose of this volume is to feel. Feel everything as though you are the main character experiencing each emotion expressed through my writing. These are written through my perspective as a woman, but please let this resonate with you regardless of your identity. Please vote, comment, like and share. Thank you! - nhiamare

A Gentle Reminder by nonmiappartiene_

A Gentle Reminder By. Bianca Sparacino This is your reminder - alone is not synonymous with not good enough. Alone is not a weakness, it is not something to be ashamed of. No, alone is a gift. It is a foundation, a steady ground within yourself that will be there whether or not you sleep beside the tired bones of another human being. A gentle reminder, for the days you feel light in this world, and for the days in which the sun rises a little slower. A gentle reminder for when your heart is full of hope, and for when you are learning how to heal it. A gentle reminder for when you finally begin to trust in the goodness, and for when you need the kind of words that hug your broken pieces back together. A gentle reminder for when growth hangs heavy in the air, for when you need to tuck your strength into your bones just to make it to tomorrow. A gentle reminder for when you are balancing the messiness, and the beauty, of what it means to be human, when you are teaching yourself that it is okay to be both happy and sad, that you are real, not perfect. A gentle reminder for when you seek the words you needed when you were younger. A gentle reminder for when you need to hear that you deserve to be loved the way you love others. A gentle reminder for when you need to recognize that you are not your past, that you are not your faults. A gentle reminder for when you need to believe in staying soft, in continuing to be the kind of person who cares. A gentle reminder for when you need to believe in loving deeply in a world that sometimes fails to do so. A gentle reminder to keep going. A gentle reminder to hope. A gentle reminder, for you. Take what you need.

Depths Unseen by nouage_k

Dear You, Once, when I was younger, the world felt so much smaller. Everything important could fit in a single moment: the sound of laughter, the warmth of sunlight, the soft rustle of leaves in a quiet breeze. I didn't think about tomorrow, or the day after that. Life wasn't made of questions back then - it was made of feelings. But somewhere along the way, things began to change. The questions grew bigger. The world, which had once seemed so simple, became a puzzle I couldn't solve. I began to forget the little things - the way the atmosphere smells after rain, or the sound of my own heartbeat when I was truly at peace. Have you felt that too? That quiet loss, the kind you can't explain? If you're reading this, I guess you do. [...] This book isn't a solution. It's a mirror. And maybe, just maybe, you'll see yourself in it. I don't know where this story will take us, but I'm glad you're here. Sincerely, Someone who understands Revised draft Start: 12.01.25 Finish: 29.03.25

Enough | ✔️ by AgentSpud_008

#1 enough #1 notenough #3 in lifelessons #15 relatable "They say you regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did do in life," I whisper, glad that I can still form a coherent sentence with him so abnormally close to me. I would barely have to extend my arm halfway to touch him. I become painstakingly aware of every movement, watching his dark eyelashes flutter with every blink. He moves impossibly closer, eyes still concentrated on my lips. I swallow anxiously, forgetting how to breathe. "Well thank fuck for that," he mutters, before a hand against the back of my neck pulls us together. --- Never put effort into anything, I told myself. It will never help you. It will never beat those around you. You will never be competition for those geniuses. You will never be wanted by anyone in your life because there's always someone better than you. You will never amount to anything. You will never be good enough. I will never be good enough. And then I met Slater. Began: 2nd September 2016 Completed: 9th April 2018 (+585 days)

A Beautiful Confusion by CalebManda

Life is the most confusing thing in the world especially if you are a teenager. There are constant changes in the emotions of yourself, the emotions of others and our general way of thinking changes because of certain factors in our lives. That's mainly because we don't really know what we want at times and because of that our day to day emotions are... complicated. I for one struggle with such problems, always felt stuck in a cycle, I felt like my life was destined to be the same but eventually in the midst of my confusion I found Beauty.

Hopeless Poet by TrasHKiNg6416

I write about the world. Her, him, the places of meaning, aggression, compassion, or human nature. TRIGGER WARNING !! some poems talk about s*elf harm and su*cide. Please do not read if you are sensitive to such topics. I will try to put a trigger warning on them but it's up to you. _______________________________ [110119] Published

--Bridges-- by infinitely_isomeric

One of the favourite lessons reading books has taught me is that you're never alone, not alteast in thoughts and words. There are others who think like you, feel like you and react like you. It's like that sometimes, our unspoken thoughts are the bridges that connect us, even though we might be miles apart. And so, I've written them down in the hope that there are many out there in this world who would be willing to walk these bridges leading to me-the real, raw and unhidden self I am- my heart and mind and soul. And I really want to walk over to your side and feel what you are like. You are the one to decide whether you want to build 'em or not... ----------------- Cover by me! None of the media used in this book belongs to me.
