Poetry
Hi! This is my first proper crack at writing poetry. Highest rank to date 10th in #poem I was originally aiming for at least 13 different poems that could challenge you the reader, as well as channel my own views, thoughts, experiences and feelings or lack of. I have and still struggle majorly with many things in life and my own head but, writing or explaining or even just exploding sometimes really helps to share the truth and who knows it might help one of you. As time has gone on, I will continue to experience, feel and think more. Which has inevitably led me to write more. I have well and truly surpassed 13 at this point, so who knows how big this could get. With all this time it does mean that this poetry collection contains extremely varied themes of which some readers may find distressing. Hopefully more thought provoking and an interesting window into my head, heart and soul. Criticism is highly welcomed, I hope you all enjoy!

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.
