In Shadow of Becoming, a teenager stands at the crossroads of adolescence and adulthood, caught in a whirlwind of doubt and discovery. As they grapple with the complexities of growing up, they question everything they once believed-faith, self-worth, purpose, and trust. With each passing day, the weight of uncertainty grows heavier, casting a shadow over their journey toward understanding. This collection of poems reflects the raw and introspective struggle of a young soul wrestling with the shifting tides of identity and belief.
Through moments of vulnerability and reflection, Shadow of Becoming explores the delicate balance between questioning and accepting, between searching for answers and embracing the unknown. It is a heart-wrenching exploration of the confusing path from youth to adulthood, where every answer seems blurry, and every choice feels like a step into the dark. The poems speak to anyone who has ever wondered who they truly are, what they truly believe, and where they are truly going.
This is a journey of self-discovery, of growth, and of ultimately finding light in the shadows.

A Beautiful Confusion
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.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
Whisper's of the Soul
RANKED 1 in Poem Collection! Sussurri dell'Anima (Whispers of the Soul) is a collection of literary pieces-poems, prose, sonnets, verses, and short stories-born from the quiet corners of emotion, the places words seldom reach. Each work is a murmur from within, a tender dialogue between the self that feels and the self that listens. These pieces do not speak loudly; they breathe. They follow the delicate pulse of longing, memory, and quiet courage-the soft language of a heart learning to understand its own silence. Also, this collection includes different perspectives that I'd like to give a meaningful portrayal. Through every whisper, the soul reveals itself: fragile yet enduring, wounded yet infinite. Thank you deeply for each vote, read, and all your support. Enjoy Reading! (人*'∀｀)｡*ﾟ @myinkspeaks
Words of life
This book is for you, who wants to read about what life can be like, most of the times. This book has reminders, poetry, tips and tricks, quotes, texts about meaning with life, happy moment and even sad moments. A little bit of everything life can throw at you. I have no filter to this book. Which means it's raw and genuine, and that is the goal. (You don't necessarily have to read from start to finish) If you for an example have a bad day, I have a chapter for you about seeing it thru a different perspective than what people normally tell you. Or if you feel like you want to know what happiness is or feels like, I have different definition of that in different chapters for you my dear! (And many more chapters, about everything you could think of) And maybe you know all of this already, and it glads me to hear. But give it a chance and maybe you'll find new ways to Incorporate it in your daily life. Or let it just be reminders for yourself. What ever works for you, love! - A.M🍷Complete
