The Quiet Kind of Dying

This is not about death. Not entirely.
It's about the slow unraveling.
The moments no one sees-
when your mind floats out of your body,
when your smile lies better than you ever could,
when "I'm fine" becomes a full-time job.
It's not a story of recovery.
It's the echo of someone almost gone,
but still here.

Epiphany; a book of poetry and prose pt.1
Epiphany - sudden insight or understanding. the beauty in yourself will never disappear, your spark may faulter but you will only shine brighter afterwards. this book is for people who don't know how to express their feelings or verbally speak them. "I usually know almost exactly how i feel. the problem is, iI just can't tell anyone." - Meg Cabot this book proves that you can go through millions of rough patches in life, fall down to many times and think that you can't go any further, it proves that no matter what you go through, you can get back up and live your dreams. the dark can swallow everything up so you cannot see the light anymore, but the stars are still there. you are one of those stars, you shine brightly through the darkness. believe in yourself, be yourself, and don't let anyone get into your head. stand strong, and be strong.

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
DO YOU REALLY HATE EACH OTHER? (MXMXM)
Theodore Vales 🌸 Do you really hate each other? Because I don't think you do. I've seen hatred before. It is clean. Sharp. Cold. What you two have is anything but. It is fire, restless and consuming. It is tension so thick the air trembles when you walk into the same room. It is silence heavy with everything unsaid, every word buried because neither of you knows how to bleed without drawing blood. And yet-when you reach for me, both of you, your hands brush too close. Your eyes flicker not just to me but to each other, even if only for a second. You think I don't notice, but I do. I notice the longing beneath the fury, the way your anger is only the shadow of something deeper. You both want me. And I-I want you both. But maybe it was never only about me. Maybe it has always been about 'us'. Three. A number most would call too much. Too messy. Too impossible. And yet, in the way you breathe, in the way you break, in the way you burn-I see it. Three is the only way this story could ever be told. So I'll ask again. Do you really hate each other? Or is hate just another word for everything you're too afraid to confess? A story of rivals, longing, and the kind of love that breaks all rules. 🌸🌸🌸☁☁☁🌸🌸🌸 ⚠️ Viewer's Discretion is Advised ⚠️ This story contains mature themes and is intended for adult audiences.

The Weight of Breathing
Every breath carries a story. Some are shallow, fleeting. Others are heavy - filled with memories, pain, and the quiet will to keep going. When life begins to lose its rhythm, when exhaustion settles deep into the bones, one girl must learn what it truly means to be alive - not just to survive. Through illness, recovery, and rediscovery, The Weight of Breathing unravels the delicate thread between body and soul, showing how health is not only about the heart that beats, but the reasons it keeps beating. This story reflects on the fragility of the human body and the quiet resilience hidden within everyday life. It's a journey through stillness, breath, and healing - and a reminder that sometimes, the smallest inhale can change everything.Complete
A Garden of Dead Things
This book is my life laid bare - a story of pain, loneliness, and mental chaos that most people don't see. It's about the slow, unbearable unravelling of a mind caught in the grips of depression, anxiety, trauma, and heartbreak. There's no sugarcoating here. No fairy tales or hopeful endings. This is a glimpse into what it feels like to be completely lost inside yourself, where every day is a battle to hold on, even when you don't know what you're holding onto anymore. I write about the nights filled with overwhelming silence that screams louder than any words. About the weight of memories and pain so heavy it crushes the light out of your life. This story doesn't shy away from the darkest parts: the thoughts that haunt you, the self-hate that grows quietly, the invisible scars left by emotional abuse and trauma. It's about fighting to survive when it feels like there's nothing left inside you but broken pieces. But more than that, it's about the truth of living with a mind that doesn't always want to be healed, a heart that keeps breaking even when you try to protect it, and a soul that longs for peace but only finds pain. I'm not telling this story for sympathy or comfort. I'm telling it because this is real. Because sometimes, the only way to breathe is to say out loud what hurts the most. If you're tired of pretending everything's okay, if you've ever felt like no one truly understands the storm inside your head, then this book is for you. It's not easy to read - but it's real, and it's mine. Welcome to my garden of dead things.
Close To You | Winrina
She watches her from the corner of the room. One glance. One night. And she's never been the same. What starts as silence turns into obsession. And what she feels? It might ruin them both. "I burn for you... and you don't even know my name." 🎧 Inspired by "Close to You" by Gracie Abrams A slow-burn, story about longing, surrender, and the danger of getting too close.Complete
Life as it is
She doesn't talk about it not out loud. Not the childhood stolen behind closed doors. Not the nights that blurred into silence. Not the years of shame, of pain, of pretending to be okay. But on the page? She tells the truth. In this deeply personal and soul baring collection, a young woman traces her path through a lifetime of abuse, betrayal, and grief-and the quiet, aching journey of healing that follows. Through poetry, she unearths the stories she's never spoken aloud, giving voice to the trauma that shaped her, and the strength that's carried her through. Each poem is a heartbeat. A scar. A step forward. Sometimes backwards. But always hers. Living. Breaking. Surviving. Healing. This is not just her story. It's the story of anyone who's ever felt broken, unseen, or unheard and still chose to write themselves into the light.Complete
