Words Fail (A Poem Collection)
Teenage life is full of drama, in a moment we feel we're on cloud nine then in a blink of an eye we're down rock bottom. This phase is a treacherous journey, a dwindling mercurial high, which somehow leads us to two roads, either we will find ourselves or lost a part of it. It's thrilling yet scary for we feel happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time. Words failed me in matters of the heart, so instead I wrote all my bottled up mix of emotions of love, hate, jealousy, fondness, passion, and epiphany. Writing these poems gave a whole new perspective of what love means to me, back then I was so repulsed by the idea of unriquitted love for it was happening to me at that moment. I didn't knew how to handle the unsettling feeling of knowing that I'm being rejected even though he didn't even said a single word about it yet. My notes app became my therapist that time, typing unspoken words I wished I've said while getting lost in my own thoughts. So to the boy who inspired me to write these poems, here goes nothing.

Book Full Of Poems and Feelings
Every poem is one that I wrote from what I'm feeling and it puts my emotions at the time and makes you guys feel those emotions. It's like you guys know what I'm feeling at the time when I wrote it.
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.

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
