When the Sky Feels Heavy is a poetic survival story. It captures the invisible weight of mental illness and the subtle beauty of choosing to stay. It doesn't offer easy answers or polished resolutions-but it holds space for pain, honors complexity, and gently reminds readers that even in the darkest moments, flickers of light remain

Let It Consume You
Give yourself time to feel your emotions But don't let them control you Let it consume you But not forever. There are moments in life when you have to let yourself feel, the pain the trauma, the depression the anxiety. There are also moments you have to force yourself out of the darkness, before it fully consumes you. These poems are the moments, when I stewed in my sadness, gave it the steering wheel. But are also the moments I grabbed the wheel and took control. This book is for those healing Those fighting Those who are speaking up And those who are silentComplete
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
--Bridges--
One of the favourite lessons reading books has taught me is that you're never alone, not alteast in thoughts and words. There are others who think like you, feel like you and react like you. It's like that sometimes, our unspoken thoughts are the bridges that connect us, even though we might be miles apart. And so, I've written them down in the hope that there are many out there in this world who would be willing to walk these bridges leading to me-the real, raw and unhidden self I am- my heart and mind and soul. And I really want to walk over to your side and feel what you are like. You are the one to decide whether you want to build 'em or not... ----------------- Cover by me!

The Cage
A snippet of poetry from my book. These poems aren't just words, they contain raw pieces of my flesh. They carry stories of my love and the sorrow that came with it. These poems carry the weight that I've been carrying on my breasts for decades. My anxiety, frustration, pain, and the willingness to give up. This playlist will also include themes of violence, trauma, captivity, and deprivation of rights. This playlist is messy. Ranking: #14 in distressed #24 in distrust #53 in poetryComplete
