2pac african american angry author black feminist haiku history mature nubian poet poetry race spoken word

I created this book in time for February, -Black History Month.  The whole premise as the title suggests is to break the chains that continue to enslave us, -chains being any barrier or element that suppresses someone.  I personally find some of my poetry to be offensive in its context and while I'd like to apologize for it, I have to defend it and stand by it because I feel it implies a truth we are so oblivious to, that it kills me.  Some works premiered here are from years ago, I just had to dig up some of my grave yard poetry so to speak, to resurrect the ghosts, not all poems are worth dying.  There's haiku poetry, and spoken word.  I tried to keep it short and sweet.  Premiers on Amazon February.  Mature content due to language...All Rights Reserved

Live Outside by BeanieBridger

*COMPLETED* Over the years, I'd written many pieces of writing, and shared barely a fraction of them here. As of 2022, I found myself back here again, and in dire need of somewhere to write, and somewhere to share it. This is a collection of poems covering various states of emotion throughout a journey of healing, along with a few of my best from years before. I hope you all enjoy the journey I took through writing all of this.

Poems (collection 2.0) by Mr_Business_Ghost

"Thoughtful, often sad, and angry poems. It's an outlet. A way to be heard. Not genius; only jumbled messes of the multitude of my thoughts fighting their way out of my brain. There's so much I want to say, but not enough time to say it. Here are my attempts." (Poems, collection 1.0) the best of my poems I've written during the years 2017-2021, (all from the original Poems book), revised, edited, and occasionally renamed - and when I say best, I don't mean good, so... go read my other poetry - the ones with actual titles. cataclysmic is comprised of poems inspired by (but generally drastically different from) the poems from this collection. there's a fair bit of rhyming in this one though, and it's not too bad - if you're into that.

thorns and other maladies by SicklySweet708

another collection of poems. *TW: mentions of sexual assault, drug use, self harm and other sensitive topics*

loss for words by bitter-espresso

every day I'm left at a loss for words. ✘CW: mentions of suicide and self-harm © 2017-2023 alexxiajay, all rights reserved *i wrote this collection in 2017, i have only updated it recently.

Odd Religion by madelryn

"Odd Religion" is my most unapologetic piece of work I've created so far. This raw and unfiltered poetry and prose book encapsulates my poor judgement, my inability to say what I mean, my fears, my hopes and dreams, my secrecy, my honesty, my hatred, my love, it encapsulates me and everything in between. Though "religion" is in the title, don't let that fool you. The only thing praised in this book is the war between my body and mind. This book uses strong references towards christianity and religion but it's done in a metaphorical way - some may call it mockery, but I can promise you my intention is not to poke fun at any religion. Throughout the writing of this book I kept telling myself it's just words that mean nothing to anyone but me, but I hope you can tear this book apart with your own meaning and interpretation. If you're confused, let yourself wonder, if you're lost let yourself wander.

Trapped in my own head by WildImaginations16

She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers. I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism. I really hope none of you relate with any of these :) I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can. The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day. (8.11.2023) PS: Please check out 'safe space'. I need your help to make it a real safe space, readers! Ranking: #1 shortpoem #1 distressing #1 poetry (17.1.2024) #1 poem (24.1.2024)

Writings of Expression by ErdeKrieger

Just some poems I wrote. Have a great day, rest of your week, and life!

To Be Broken by lazylazerkitten

What does it mean to be broken? (I wrote this poem myself) ______________________________ Why be sad? When no one knows how bad You feel your Pain makes you sore. Why be mad? When no one can tell How hard you fell How it hurts MORE than a tad. Why be happy? Be like all those sappy People pretending to be What they want you to see. Why be frightened? Senses heightened Screaming, As sick people are beaming. Why be tired? When no one knows How your wired How you grow. Why be honest? When all known is a broken promise When no one believes you Even if what you say is true. Why hurt? When no one feels your pain When no one's ever alert When you never feel sane. Why pretend? When you know in the end No one will be there Because no one cares. Why care? When no one cares enough for you To know what your going through They think your heart is unfair. Why try? When no one sees that you do They just pry Thinking they know more than you. Why speak? When no one will ever hear They'll say you're a freak They don't see a single tear. Why do anything at all? It's not like anyone will see If you fall If you scream. ____________________________________ "Just admit it Winter. After the whole accident....your broken." "No...No that's where your wrong. I'm not broken. Because to be broken, you had to have been whole in the first place."

Mind {Prose Vol. 2}✔ by FriendlyDragon478

❝In my mind, there is pain. I am exhausted. I feel defeat from my hair tips to my feet- my body feels the stress weighing down on my shoulders. I try and try every day, but nothing seems to go my way. In my mind, there is pain, yet I try because one day, I will feel great. The body, mind, and soul are connected, and it is up to us to determine how to respect them.❞ - Me These writings are my observations and perspectives, some full of laughter and fun, others painful and dark, suffocating, leaving me with nowhere to run. ✿✿✿✿✿✿✿ A collection of unedited poems I wrote extemporaneously (ages 16-18), as well as a chockfull of quotes. This books contains my: Poems 105- & Quotes 96-175. Formerly known as: ❛My Poems and Quotes Book (Vol. II),❜ 2017-2020. Volume Two of My Poems and Quotes.
