Things You Never Got to Hear

"things you never got to hear" is volume two in my poetry trilogy that releases everywhere books are sold on July 15th. It's available for pre-order in hardcover, paperback, and ebook. The audiobook will release this fall.

Volume one, "things i never got to tell you", is currently out now. And volume three will be out on September 2nd.

Please check your TWs, as this is a very dark and very heavy collection of poetry. I'm also still looking for ARC readers for the entire trilogy or just the first book.

This collection is much darker than the first and third, and is more emotionally taxing, which is by design. If volume one was a good gateway collection, and the best all-around, this one deals with poems that are more raw and unfiltered and less "pretty".

It might not be for everyone, but I still hope you enjoy it and find it healing.

... Read moreThe second volume of the trilogy, 'Things You Never Got to Hear', dives deep into emotional themes such as loss, regret, and the toxic facets of love. Following 'Things I Never Got to Tell You', this installment offers a stark contrast, showcasing poems that are unapologetically raw and dark. Each piece is crafted to bring readers face-to-face with more difficult emotions, making this collection a courageous exploration of the human experience. Readers are reminded to approach with caution due to the intensity of the content, which is designed to evoke strong emotional reactions. As the author emphasizes, these poems serve both as a catharsis and a precursor to the more uplifting tones expected in the final volume set to release on September 2nd. Whether looking for reflection or release, 'Things You Never Got to Hear' invites readers on an evocative journey through impactful verse.

A person lies on a bed, writing in a pink notebook, with a bedside lamp and pink roses in the background. The text overlay reads 'THINGS I STOPPED DOING FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH'.
A person's face is shown with text overlay listing 'What I stopped:' including listening to sad music, negative self-talk, not prioritizing hobbies, SH behaviors, seeking validation, oversharing traumas, and negative weight talk.
A person with curly blonde hair has mascara applied, with an overlay of empowering affirmations: 'You are beautiful You are kind You are loved You are strong You are resilient'.
Things I STOPPED doing for my mental health!
Listening to sad music- I love sad music, I think it’s beautiful and relatable. But the reality is it does not help in any way shape or form. It puts you in a negative mindset and you end up in a never ending loop. You’re sad so you listen to sad music, which makes you more sad. And so it repeats.
