Upcoming Poetry, Writing, and Storys

Introduction

Welcome to a collection of poetry and stories written from the deepest parts of survival, healing, grief, hope, and self-discovery.

These pages hold pieces of my journey — moments of pain, fear, heartbreak, growth, resilience, and ultimately healing. Some of these poems and stories were written during the darkest moments of my life, while others were written as I slowly began to rebuild myself and find my voice again.

For many years, I carried my emotions in silence. Writing became the place where I could finally speak honestly about trauma, anxiety, grief, survival, and the emotional wounds that shaped me. Through poetry and storytelling, I learned that pain does not have to remain hidden and that healing often begins the moment we allow ourselves to be seen.

The upcoming poems and stories explore topics such as childhood trauma, emotional abuse, PTSD, grief, fear, mental health struggles, survival, hope, resilience, and learning how to live beyond survival mode. While some pieces are painful and deeply emotional, they are also filled with honesty, courage, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going after life has broken you apart.

My hope is that these words help others feel less alone.

If you have ever struggled with trauma, anxiety, grief, fear, self-worth, or emotional pain, I hope you find comfort within these pages. And if you are still healing, I hope this collection reminds you that healing does not happen overnight — but little by little, it is possible.

Most importantly, I hope these stories remind you that even after darkness, hope can still exist.

Trapped in the Past

 

My body still remembers what my mind tries to forget

fear, shame, and panic

tears that roll down my face

fear of being forgotten

 

Some days I feel lost, abandoned, and stuck

Haunted by the past 

The hate, anguish, and want for revenge

Being overwhelmed with wanting freedom

 

Freedom from fear 

Freedom from hate,

Freedom from the grief I carry!

The pain I hold deep within

 

lack of forgiveness, 

lack of justice, 

lack of feeling safe in my own skin,

as though I can't move forward 

 

But, I do anyways!

Dear Younger Me

 

I know what it feels like to feel alone,

to sit in a room full of people

and still feel invisible.

 

I know what it feels like to ache quietly,

to carry pain so deep

it settles into your bones

 

I know what it feels like to feel hurt,

to trust with an open heart

and watch it break in your hands.

 

I know what it feels like

to cry yourself to sleep,

to wipe your tears

and pretend you are okay

when inside, you are unraveling.

 

I know what it feels like to feel abandoned,

to wonder why people leave,

why love sometimes feels conditional,

why the ones you needed most

could not hold you

the way you deserved to be held.

 

I was there.

I remember her.

I remember you.

 

I remember your trembling heart,

your silent prayers,

your longing to be loved,

your desperate hope

that someday, somehow,

life would feel softer.

 

I know what it’s like

to feel unwanted,

misunderstood,

forgotten,

to question your worth

because of wounds

you did not deserve.

 

I know what it’s like

to be tired—

not in body,

but in soul.

The kind of tired

that makes carrying tomorrow

feel impossibly heavy.

 

But I want you to know this:

I am here.

 

I am the arms wrapping around you now

when no one else did.

I am the voice telling you

what you always needed to hear:

 

You matter.

You are worthy of love.

You are not too much,

and you were never not enough.

 

I am here now,

and I will not abandon you.

I will sit with your sadness,

hold your trembling heart,

kiss every wound life left behind,

and remind you—again and again—

 

You made it.

Through heartbreak.

Through loneliness.

Through nights you thought would swallow you whole.

You made it.

 

And though I cannot change

what you lived through,

I can love you now.

 

So rest, little one.

You do not have to carry it alone anymore.

 

I am here.

I have always been finding my way back to you.

And this time—

I’m staying.
