"Prepared thus to close, he raised his knife,
Death came later; he was stabbed by life."
When my ballpoint buckles, there is no stifling the blood that flows into verses.
Nothing is too negative for a poem. Sixty-odd instances of everything negative. A book that explores and cajoles as much as it disturbs and breaks.

Me, Myself And I
This is a poem book about a few things that others don't know about me. Some depressing, some are happy and some are mean. Through these poems, I express my true emotions about certain things and certain people. Please read with an open mind. Please VOTE & COMMENT nicely. I may not have mentioned this but I also write poems for others, they tell their past or current problems and I write a poem myself dedicated in their honour. So if any of you would like.. I could the same for you. It's no problem at all. Thanks for reading!! By: @DarkDameWriter Cover By: @seamless_thoughtsComplete
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
𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐘
You and I- we carry different stories, and that's what makes each of us uniquely our own. This is simply a continuation of mine, where I'm learning, healing, and sometimes falling back along the way. If you're here, I hope these words give you hope- or whatever you need to keep going.Complete
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
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.Complete
The State Of Blissful Misery
Strong and explicit language. Triggering topics. For mature audience only. Poetry exploring the darker side of the enfactions one crosses. Embracing the malevolence. Let the light slip through you as you enter the world below you. Be unafraid of what it has to offer to you. See the warriors who fight alongside you or slay the ones who rebelled against the one thing that would have saved them. As always, I will be editing the collection every now and then. I am unstoppable. Not even death can rip editing my poetry from my dead hands.
"Things I Never Said Out Loud"
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.Complete
