Prison/Freedom by HannahTannhauser

A 7-year poetic memoir about grappling with Trauma, Mental health, and Crisis of Faith This is a collection of 7 years of poetry I have written about my journey with grief, trauma, abuse, SA, mental health, spiritual crisis, and my journey with God throughout my life. These are my life stories and I have put my blood, sweat, and tears into these poems. I hope my story will help others on their healing and/ or faith journeys. Healing is not linear.

Marching By Milestones by NaoiseAngelinaLucia

This is a poetical memoir. It's a collection of poems that I've written, since the age of 13, as I struggled with bipolar disorder, psychosis and grief. It's a story that starts in abject darkness and despair, and ends in a place of light and hope. It is my testament that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Fragments Of A Shattered Dawn by 1d_football5

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

Whelve by valentina7writer

Despite being dealt a bad hand in life, Ev promised to himself to never lose hope. He promised to always strive to find the silver lining. That was until he met him. Healing had never been an option for Daniel. Not with the life he had. And when something can't be healed there is only one way to stop the pain. Ev was no stranger to trauma. But helping someone else go through it when they were still scared to face it seemed almost impossible. And yet losing hope was not an option for him. Trigger warning in the Author's Note. PLEASE READ.

Heal My Wounds (2020) by sgsharp

Young author, Garett Sharp, delivers a raw take on heartbreak and mental illness in his newest collection of illustrated poetry + prose. In this undoubtedly emotional collection from the inside of Garett Sharp's mind, readers are taken along on a journey filled with heartbreak, self-loathing, mental health issues, self-reflection, as well as finding the key to self-acceptance. As the author grows, he learns to acknowledge his life decisions, what it's like to live with mental illness, how to cope with heartbreak and devastating loss, and find the strength of mending the wounds from within. Heal My Wounds is by far the largest, most impactful collection written by Garett. The poems range from sadness, rage, and pain to hopeful sources of light and finding peace.

Things I Wasn't Supposed to Say: A Journal of Silent Battles and Unspoken Truths by TheMantra

They told me to stay quiet. To smile, to endure, to bury the words that burned inside me. But silence is heavy. And sometimes the only way to survive is to write the things no one wants to hear. This book is a collection of truths-raw, tender, and unapologetically human. It speaks of invisible wounds, love that aches, hope that refuses to die, and the quiet rebellion of being yourself in a world that demands masks. If you've ever felt too much, stayed unheard, or carried a storm inside- these words are for you.

"Things I Never Said Out Loud" by LIA12WREN

This is not pretty poetry. These are truths I was never taught to speak. Here lie the words I swallowed, the pain I buried, and the questions they told me not to ask. For the unheard. For the unseen. For the ones who feel too much in a world that tells them to feel less. I write for you. I write for me.

LOSS by AaronSzyszko

"Loss" is a raw and unflinching descent into the shattered psyche of a protagonist consumed by the aftermath of profound betrayal and abuse. Beginning with the immediate, visceral agony of abandonment, the narrative charts a harrowing journey through the stages of grief, escalating into furious denial, vengeful fantasies, and a desperate yearning for the past. As the protagonist grapples with the enduring trauma and the specter of his abuser, a fragile hope for reconciliation flickers, only to be extinguished by the crushing weight of his pain. Ultimately, the story culminates in a tragic act of finality, a desperate attempt to escape an unbearable reality. Yet, even in the silence of the afterlife, the indelible mark of loss remains, an eternal testament to the destructive power of a broken connection and the enduring scars of a life irrevocably altered. It's a stark exploration of the cyclical nature of trauma, the corrosive effects of hatred, and the haunting persistence of absence, even in the face of ultimate escape.

WHEN THE RAIN FORGOT TO FALL by EnigmaExplorers

I wrote this because I needed to survive it. Because there are some feelings too big for silence. Some heartbreaks too heavy to carry alone. This isn't fiction. This is my heart, broken open and rearranged into verse. "I saw you standing where the sidewalk curves, and suddenly my chest knew different words." - That's how it started. A glance. A stranger. A feeling I couldn't ignore. "You said we needed to talk. Those five words, I knew. I already knew." - And that's how it ended. Not with fire. With silence. I won't tell you that time heals all wounds. I won't say everything happens for a reason. I won't pretend heartbreak makes you stronger. But I will show you that: You can survive what you think will destroy you. You can break and still become beautiful. You can love someone and lose them and still be whole. You can be your own happy ending. I wrote these poems with tears on my face. I wrote them on good days when I forgot to hurt. Every word is something I actually felt. Every line is a moment I actually lived. "You are not broken. You are breaking open. And that's where the light gets in." - That's what this taught me. That's what I hope it gives you, the comfort of knowing you're not alone.
