dark growingup growth love memories

How can I crave what I cannot give, A heart to hold, a will to live? I wear a mask, I play the part- But I've gone missing from my heart.

I Love You, Unfortunately.
READ THE PINNED CONVERSATION ON MY ACCOUNT BEFORE READING!! I still love you, unfortunately for me. The only way for me to get fed up with it is by you hurting me and pushing me away, just one last time like you did on that morning of January 20th. When you said you didn't want me anymore and I had to cry about it in the arms of my mother who didn't care about me at all. And maybe by then, I'll finally get the message why The Moon and The Stars are never close to each other. "You don't see stars here, they're just city lights I think back to where you live and how you can see the entire sky It's occasional, sometimes I'll see the moon And I'll think of you." - We Hug Now by Sydney Rose

Beneath the Surface: Just Some Poetry
A collection of poems by me
Tales of A Tortured Poet
A collection of the things I can't seem to say. The things that plague some of us at 2am, a bitter goodbye, a loving hello, lost friendships, and identities. I'm just a recovering addict trying to navigate the minefield that is reality.
Things I Wasn't Supposed to Say: A Journal of Silent Battles and Unspoken Truths
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.

Echoes of the Heart
These are pieces of my heart-love, heartbreak, longing, and hope. Read, feel, and maybe see your own story reflected in these words.

Wave (Book 2)
I had survived the first. That was then; this is now. The blindfold of so many pills slowly died away and first though my finger then my head, a passion, a hurt and a need filled me as every moment was consumed with words; every breath with wisps of ink. But they were not all captured and somewhere in the deep abyss of living, lies the unspoken, almost unfelt feelings of decades in months. This is the half-empty account off all those nights from December through into the new year and the end of March. ...I pains me to share it. But it also makes it just not my problem anymore and that is something I long for- freedom and peace. Please note that all grammatical and linguistic, as well as those in punctuation and spelling or placing of words were intentional. If you LIKE this and want me to write a commentary on each poem and picture (as in my previous collection Apfel), please show me in comments and votes :) PLEASE DO NOT COPY any of the poetry or pictures.

WHEN THE RAIN FORGOT TO FALL
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.
