What remains when the self unravels in silence? When love arrives too gently to hold, and leaves too quietly to mourn?

Reflection is a collection of poems that traces the quiet undoing of a soul - through trauma, intimacy, longing, loss and the fragile hope that flickers in its wake.

Structured in four parts: Dissolution of Self, Longing and Loss, Erasure, and an intimate Epilogue. This book captures the emotional landscape of someone who was almost healed, almost chosen, almost remembered.

These are poems for the ones who gave too much, felt too deeply, and stayed soft even when the world turned hard.
For those who held someone close, only to find themselves fading.
For those who love, without conditions, without being asked to.

Through metaphor, memory, and dreamlike symbolism, Reflection explores what it means to be seen, to be left behind, and to still offer love in return.

This is not a story of happy endings.
It's a story of truth, of emotional echoes, and the resilience of the human soul, even in its quietest, most broken moments.

Give yourself time to feel your emotions But don't let them control you Let it consume you But not forever.

Anatomy of the Soul by Mona26042009

This is me-no filters, no edits, just my soul laid bare in words. Anatomy of the Soul isn't just a collection of poems. It's my way of reaching out when words feel like the only thing I have to give. Here you'll find love and heartbreak, but also the messy, loud, quiet parts of life that don't always get talked about. Social truths, personal struggles, little moments of hope-everything tangled together. This is my art, my ritual, my offering. A place where I explore not just the world around me, but the world inside me. If you decide to step inside, I hope you find something that speaks to your own soul-maybe even gives you a voice for things you've never said out loud. This is poetry for the heart, for change, for us. In the past, my poetry was a way to explore and experiment-sometimes searching for connection, sometimes just trying to understand myself better. Now, with Anatomy of the Soul, it's different. This is my space to be completely honest, to share what I couldn't say out loud, and to write for myself first. Whether these poems find readers or not, they are pieces of my soul I needed to release. And if you do find yourself here, I hope these words bring you comfort, a sense of understanding, and the quiet company of someone who feels like you. This is my truth, my voice, my gift.

"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.

A Diary of Soul (Unedited Version) by ovokive

Know Thyself - Socrates Have you ever felt like a stranger to yourself? Like you're here, but lost? Just another performing mask in a sea of faces? Another wandering being made of dust? • Finding yourself and healing amidst dark moments of life isn't the easiest experience. This journey from unfamiliarity to reconnecting with authentic self expression is what Onarietta documents in her début poetry book, A Diary of Soul. In each entry, she records new discoveries, old pains, hidden fears, joys, and hope that keeps her going, through poems and poetic prose. A Diary of Soul is a companion book for anyone that seeks to learn how to confront and comfort the dark and hurt parts of themselves. It is a guide to finding yourself and creating an identity beyond negative personal expressions and experiences. • Each part (Being, Reawakening, Refining, and Becoming) represents the ever-reoccurring cycles of growth you experience as a person, even as you learn to accept who you are, discover your potential, and grow into more authentic expressions of Self. || Original Description: A collection of poems and poetic prose. This is somewhat of a memoir. I have written these notes and poems to make you feel hope and dread, seen and heard. I have also written them to make you dream, for I shall not dream alone. I don't have nightmares...but I'm rather good at writing them. I also rant once in a while...or maybe that's what this whole book is about. I hope to sift through your head as you walk through mine.

~ HUMAN INTROSPECTION ~ by BABA_GHOUL

~*~*~*~ ~*~*~*~ A collection of poetry and philosophical questions made to question the relations and views we have of ourselves and others. I encourage readers to explore themselves and allow their thoughts to run unfiltered while reading. I hope that the question series inspires such introspection. ~*~*~*~ ~*~*~*~ Some of these poems or questions may be considered triggering to some. I ask that readers please monitor how they feel while reading and remember to take a break when needed. The 'INTRODUCTION' chapter will explain in more depth.
