a collection of love, loss, longing & everything I never said

In this poem, she talks about how she lost herself while trying to hold on to someone else. She ignored her own pain, blamed herself, and let others be right. But now the mirror is clear - she has found herself again, with no fear of anyone leaving.

Just some poems I feel vulnerable enough to share.

I can create and destroy. I can give birth to a whole new population in a world of my own and set my own rules. I'm the one who makes the decisions and only I can break it, simply i'm the ruler. I decide the past, present and future. But i'm not a God, neither am I a wielder of magic. I'm just an ordinary writer. It's my world, my rules.

When Anger Speaks for the Wounded is a reflection on what happens inside us when anger takes control. In moments of hurt, the mind can become clouded by emotion, making us react before we have the chance to think. We may become silent, distant, impatient, or say things we never meant to say-not always because we want to hurt someone, but because we want them to understand that they have hurt us. The poem explores that space between anger and understanding: the moment when emotions are loud, and the quieter moment that comes afterward, when we begin to question ourselves. Sometimes we regret how we reacted. Sometimes we realise that our anger had a reason. At its heart, this poem is about something many of us experience but don't always talk about-the complicated relationship between hurt, anger, reaction, and self-reflection. About the Author I am Lavanya Y. Rao, and I am a new writer who finds inspiration in everyday moments, emotions, and the little things we often overlook. The idea for this poem came to me after I witnessed an incident involving another person. It made me stop and think about how strongly anger can take over our minds and bodies, sometimes making us react emotionally before we have had the chance to think clearly. It also made me wonder how easily hurt can turn into anger, and how differently we sometimes see a situation once we have calmed down. That moment became the inspiration for When Anger Speaks for the Wounded. Through my writing, I hope to put ordinary but complicated emotions into words that people can recognise within themselves. With this poem, I wanted to explore anger not just as an emotion, but as something that can sometimes hide hurt, disappointment, or simply the desire to be understood. Most of all, I hope that while reading these words, you find a small part of yourself in them. If you enjoyed the poem, please do vote and leave a comment. Your support means everything t

Somewhere We Still Exist is a poetic journey through love that lingers, a heart that waits, and a soul that still searches for the one it cannot forget. Through soft, melancholic verses, It captures the quiet ache of missing someone while holding onto the gentle hope that love may find its way back. This book is for those who have loved deeply, lost quietly, and continue to feel the presence of a love that never fully left. It is not just about heartbreak-it is about the beauty of longing, the comfort in memories, and the possibility that love is never truly gone, only waiting to be found again.

Some feelings are too heavy to be spoken. So they become words. What the Heart Couldn't Say is a collection of poetry, prose, and shayari about the things we carry quietly- the love we never confessed, the people we couldn't keep, the goodbyes we never said, the hope that refused to die, and the memories we learned to live with. Some pages speak of desire. Some whisper of love. Some are about letting go. And some are simply about the strange things the heart feels when no one is listening. For every feeling that found a home in silence- this book is for you. 🥀

"Akansha - When She Started Doubting Herself" is about the kind of hurt that often goes unnoticed-the hurt of constantly being corrected, interrupted, dismissed, or told how to do things, even when you know you are trying your best. Akansha represents someone who is gentle and patient, someone who may not cry or argue when words hurt her. But that doesn't mean those words don't stay with her. When the same things happen again and again, they can slowly affect her confidence, make her hesitate, and make her question herself in ways others may never see. This poem is about those quiet emotional wounds-the ones that don't leave visible scars, but still affect the way a person sees themselves. Sometimes, we don't need advice or correction. Sometimes, we simply need to be heard, understood, and trusted. About the Author - Lavanya Y. Rao I, Lavanya Y. Rao, wrote this poem from a deeply personal place. There have been many moments in my own life when I have felt like Akansha-when I've tried to speak, only to be told that I wasn't being understood, or when I've been constantly corrected about how I should speak, act, walk, drive, or do something. These experiences have happened while talking to my family members as well as many other people in my life. I may not always show when something hurts me. I may stay quiet, smile, or simply move on from the moment. But that doesn't mean I haven't felt it deeply. There are words and moments that stay with us long after the conversation ends. Sometimes they make us question ourselves, our choices, and even the confidence we once had in the simplest things. This poem is a reflection of those feelings-of being misunderstood, constantly corrected, and quietly hurt while still trying to remain kind. These are emotions I have personally experienced and carried with me. If this poem touched something in you, please do vote and leave a comment. Tell me what you felt while reading it.

About the Poem Sometimes, we don't want the rain because we love getting wet. We want it because, for a little while, we wish it could wash away the things that feel too heavy to carry. When the rain began falling over Delhi around 4:30 PM today, Nora felt that exact longing-to step outside, stand beneath it, and let the rain quiet the memories, thoughts, and emotions that had been weighing on her heart. But she never stepped outside. She only stood by the window, watching the rain, wishing she could come out of it feeling a little lighter. About the Author I'm Lavanya Y. Rao, a new writer who has recently started putting my feelings, thoughts, and emotions into poems. I'm still discovering my voice as a writer, and many of my poems begin with something small that I feel or notice in an ordinary moment. Today, when it started raining in Delhi around 4:30 PM, I had the same feeling Nora has in this poem. I wanted to go outside and simply stand in the rain-to let it wash away some of the heaviness in my mind and make everything feel quiet for a while. Sadly, I couldn't get wet in the rain today. So I gave that feeling to Nora instead. 🤍 If this poem made you feel something, please vote and leave a comment. Your support means everything to me as I begin this journey as a writer. 🥹🤍

About the Poem "The Different Price of No" was born from something I witnessed at home today. While my maid was working, I found myself thinking about how differently the word "no" can affect people from different working backgrounds. Even when extra money is offered for an additional task, sometimes a simple request can turn into an argument or refusal simply because it wasn't part of the original agreement. It made me think about my own life. I, Lavanya Y. Rao, earn ₹15,000 a month working at a company in Okhla while living in Hauz Khas. From that salary, I manage my own transportation, and sometimes even my food when I don't carry it from home. There are no excuses when work demands more-I have to keep going because saying "no" can come with consequences. At the same time, I found myself wondering about the people who work in several homes and earn from each one. I don't believe anyone should be treated without respect, but I also feel that extra work, especially when extra money is offered and other work is taken off their hands, shouldn't always become a reason for resentment. This poem is simply my reflection on that difference-the different weight that "no" carries depending on where we stand. About the Author I am Lavanya Y. Rao, a new writer who has recently started putting my feelings, observations, and emotions into poems. Many of my poems begin with ordinary moments that make me stop and think about something deeper.
