"Between Two Homes" is a deeply emotional poem that explores the inner conflict of a young woman torn between two sides of her family, her father's and her late mother's. Rooted in a real-life experience of loss, cultural expectations, and long-standing family rifts, the poem captures the pain of being treated like a possession, the ache of growing up without a mother, and the struggle to seek peace without betraying loyalty. It speaks to anyone who has ever been caught in the middle of generational wounds, trying to honor both past and present while searching for identity and healing.

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

Between The Lines Of My Life
She grew up in a house where love was quiet but steady folded into warm meals, handwritten letters never sent, and stories whispered through the walls. Raised by her grandparents in a small barrio of Davao, she dreamed of a life beyond the horizon but never imagined how far she would have to go to truly find her way back home. Between the Lines of My Life is a heartfelt memoir of a daughter, a dreamer, and a healer torn between past and present, duty and desire, silence and voice. Through memories both tender and painful, Dr. Kaia Velora traces the shape of a life built not from grand moments, but from the pauses in between. A journal of healing, of returning, of becoming. This is for every soul who has ever longed for home, for answers, for peace. For those who have ever wondered if they are enough. Sometimes, the most powerful stories are not the ones shouted aloud but the ones written softly between the lines. Between The Lines of My Life by Hershey O.Complete
Life experiences
I've been through my own struggle, whether it was created in my head by way of prolonged sadness or bitterness/resentment, or if I was struggling with things I had no control over like failed friendships, a broken heart, or family drama. This is my advice to you based off of my life experiences. Along with pieces of life experience advice I've included poetry and spoken word pieces from different perspectives and I try to break down life into beautiful words that people can relate to and see that we all struggle- you're not alone and we are each so valuable.Complete
Thresheld
My life is a series of thresholds that I overcome through poetry. Love, loss, pain, regret, humor, irony, word play, and even sarcasm are as much apart of my life as they are central to my poems here. I am Thresheld. UPDATE: It's been quite a few years since I started this book, and it has become rather prolific. I am currently working on organizing my poetry to make it easy to navigate. For now I've posted my recommendations and a few favorite shorts. Feel free to check out anything here there is no order you need to read in and there isn't any separation of emotional content so who knows what you might get. Anyways leave a comment, pretty please :3Complete
