Unseen. Unheard. Unappreciated.
Taken for Granted is a deeply emotional poem about being constantly overlooked while giving everything - love, time, and energy. It unfolds the quiet heartbreak of feeling like an option instead of a priority, and the moment that strength is found in finally letting go. A piece for the unheard voices, the silent supporters, and the ones who are tired of being enough for everyone but never enough to be cherished.

Immortalizing A Memory: The Album
🥀🖤⛈ Book: Two Untamable Storm Of Love Series "Poetry is the way I explain every meaning of how I'm feeling. Love is the ringing bell in my head, that makes me want to lose my mind, sometimes music can't even ease the pain of when I'm hurting. Writing about it was the easiest way to get through it all. My getaway was writing every detail down. My escape from the actual pain. Now I'm better than ever before. Now that this chapter in my life is done.

Even If It Wasn't Love
Sometimes love isn't what it seems - it's pain, confusion, hope, and everything in between. Caught between the memories of what once was and the fear of what could be. She fell for the boy who made her feel seen, who built her up when she was broken - and then shattered her all over again. But even now, with all the pain, she can't let go. She still needs him. Still wants him. If you've ever been lost in the middle of love and doubt, this story is for you. Even If It Wasn't Love is a story about holding on to the very thing that's tearing you apart - and wondering if maybe, just maybe... it was love all along.Complete
Fragments Of A Shattered Dawn
A collection of raw, unfiltered poems that bleed with honesty. Inside these pages live the ghosts of depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, heartbreak, abuse, and grief. These words do not shy away from darkness-they sit with it, speak its language, and unravel the silence it leaves behind. But this is also a book about survival. About longing and love, even when unreturned. About desire that aches and healing that comes in imperfect forms. About the messy, jagged ways we try to piece ourselves back together. For anyone who has felt too much, or nothing at all. For anyone searching for fragments of themselves in the ruins. This is not a guide to healing. This is proof you are not alone in the storm. Trigger Warnings: Depression Self-harm Suicidal ideation Grief and loss Emotional and psychological trauma Abuse (emotional, physical, and implied sexual) Dissociation Heartbreak and unrequited love Loneliness and isolation Sexual themes and longing Descriptions of pain and intrusive thoughts
WHAT IF
✦ 📘 Description "What if you got a second chance... but didn't ask for it?" They say survival is a miracle. But no one talks about what comes after. Y, a man who stood at the edge of the world-broken, betrayed, and buried in silence-throws himself into the darkness, hoping to escape the pain that hollowed him out. But instead of death, he wakes up to the haunting reality of a second chance. No applause. No redemption arc. Just the weight of a soul that didn't want saving. This is not a story of falling in love. It's a story of falling apart-and crawling your way back piece by jagged piece. Through quiet rage, shattered mirrors, cheap food, and brutal self-confrontation, Y begins the hardest journey of all: finding himself again. For the outcasts. For the broken. For the ones who didn't think they'd make it. This is your story too. "What If" is a raw, poetic, and unfiltered journey of trauma, healing, and the fight to live when living feels impossible.

THE GIRL WHO OUTGREW HER HURT
"The Girl Who Outgrew Her Hurt" is my story in poems. I was the quiet girl with a soft heart, hard thoughts, and hidden pain. The one who smiled while healing, loved while breaking, and kept everything inside. This book is for the ones who feel too deeply, overthink at night, and keep going anyway. It's about heartbreak, friendships that faded, missing people who didn't stay, and finding myself in the mess. I wrote every poem from the truth I carry - soft, bold, and still becoming. This is me, outgrowing what tried to break me.Complete
A Culmination Of Realities
As we float through life, victimized by circumstance and stalked by rumours, we come to understand that false rumours have opposites: realities. These are the realities to which this book is dedicated. These realities share only truth, for some are harsh, some are cruel and some are bitter. But, the truth that binds them inspires the dissection of emotion- allowing a comprehension of feeling. Each poem is bound to a reality. This is where I keep my realities, this is where they culminate. --- •RARITY AWARD WINNER (MAGNETIC READS)• •OPAQUE AWARD WINNER (GENRE FINALIST)• •WADDO RUNNER UP•Complete
