This poetic series chronicles the harrowing and transformative journey of a protagonist trapped in a deep, unrelenting well for twenty days. Each piece captures a single day, weaving a tapestry of survival, introspection, and resilience. As hunger gnaws and darkness encroaches, the protagonist faces not only the physical challenges of escape but also the emotional and spiritual depths of their humanity.
Written in vivid free verse prose poetry, the series explores themes of isolation, hope, and the indomitable human spirit. Each day unfolds as a self-contained yet interconnected exploration of the protagonist's battle against hardship and despair.
With its rich sensory detail and philosophical undercurrents, 20 Days in the Well invites readers to descend into the unknown and emerge with a deeper understanding of endurance, vulnerability, and self-discovery.

COMPLETED, next poetry collection coming soon This is a poetry collection that is both ever updating and ever changing. This collection of poetry isn't exactly traditional or ever a solid complete piece of prose, I am ever adding and changing and morphing them into something I feel is better or is more to what I feel suits the character or the emotion I wrote the poem to embody. That being said, this collection has some works alike the past one that I made a few years back that doesn't quite hold up to standard today. I have poems that I have remade and moved into this collection, so If you have come from the previous collection know that if you recognise the theme it's because of that. I created this intended as both a challenge to write some feelings into something productive as-well as to write some inspired works made for a character I made as I wrote the poem or for a event or piece of media I enjoyed. Nothing is ever solid or at least their perspective will change as I write the poem or rewrite it. Anyways enjoy, I try not to be too pretentious but I don't really care because again this is a vent piece of work.Complete![Introverted By My Thoughts [✓]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/146397416-256-k856747.jpg)
Introverted By My Thoughts [✓]
A Poetic series. . With Every passing breath, I sink even deeper into a pool of my own darkness. . *Whispers* "Not your usual poetry"Complete
Trapped in my own head
She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers. I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism. I really hope none of you relate with any of these :) I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can. The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day. (8.11.2023) PS: Please check out 'safe space'. I need your help to make it a real safe space, readers!

A Dead Poet's Musings
Hey there! This is a collection of all my poems at one place. All of them are very close to me for they are mostly -sometimes fully, sometimes loosely- based on my life. Safe to say, this is a guide to whatever is in my mind, whatever I've been through. This is me in a way, in the form of poems. Happy Reading friends Hope ya like it✨
Beneath Silent Eyes
A man wanders alone, lost in both time and thought in the quiet solitude of a vast forest. Under a watchful gaze, he confronts the fragmented memories of his past; his regrets, his joys, and the weight of a life lived. He relives moments of love, parenthood, and missed opportunities and finds himself reflecting on those moments of his life that consume him. This novella explores the nature of reflection, the human struggle to make peace with the self, and the choices that shape us through rich allegory and profound introspection. With stunning imagery and a narrative that invites readers to reflect on their own lives, this is a meditation on the burdens we carry and the paths we ultimately choose to walk. - - - 2025 Amby's Favorite under the title 'The Owl' Winner of the 2025 March Writer's Crown from the Watthub CommunityComplete
The Light in the Dark (Completed)
Cover made by the amazing @mikeyspizzadope (go check them out they're cool) It's 3 A.M., and you can't sleep. Your heart feels like it might burst out of your chest. Your ears are ringing, echoing in your brain, and everything hurts so badly. Your vision is going blurry as you try to fight back the tears, and you're wondering why you even try anymore. At one point or another, most of us have experienced the feeling of worthlessness, shame, or guilt. We feel like we're at rock bottom, and it seems like nothing will ever get any better no matter how hard we try. One thing we do know for sure, though, is that where there is dark, there is bound to be light, no matter how small that speck may be. There's always hope, no matter how far out of reach it may seem. There's always light in the dark. TW/CW: mentions of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts. "I know that even when things seem dark and at rock bottom, there's always hope. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. As small as that little shaft of light may seem, it's not out of reach." - something a friend of mine once told me All of the poems in this book have been written by me.

Unspoken Words
In the labyrinth of human emotions lies a treasury of unspoken words - the silent echoes of sentiments left unsaid, the whispers lost in the cacophony of life's chaos. "Unspoken Words" delves into the hidden recesses of the heart, where poetry intertwines with prose to illuminate the poignant tales of the unuttered. In this anthology, each page unfolds a tapestry of emotions, weaving together the threads of longing, regret, and hope. Through lyrical verses and poignant narratives, explore the myriad shades of human experience, where the unspoken words resonate with the quiet intensity of a whispered confession. Venture into the depths of unrequited love, where unspoken desires linger in the shadows, yearning to be heard. Traverse the corridors of memory, where untold stories lie buried beneath the sands of time, waiting to be unearthed. From the tender whispers of a secret admirer to the silent cries of a broken heart, each piece is a testament to the power of words left unspoken. Join the journey of self-discovery and introspection, as the characters navigate the labyrinth of their own emotions, grappling with the weight of the unspoken. Through verse and prose, "Unspoken Words" invites readers to embrace the beauty of vulnerability, to find solace in the silence, and to discover the profound truths that reside within the spaces between words.
