~POEMS~

These are some of my favorite and most recent poems. There’s a lot I need to work on and practice but the progress I have made in my writing has come a long way. First off, I used to never share what I wrote, I just kept it under lock and key for my eyes only. But as I’ve worked on self healing and expressing myself I have started to share more and more of what I have wrote and to be honest, it feels good!

Some of the topics I write about I have never talked about, and putting things out there is scary, but I’ve been provided so much love and support because I was willing to share these. I’ve been able to find people who have felt the same as me, and I’ve been able to return the support that I have been given. Sharing my stories and experiences has opened many doors for me.

Give it a try, you may be surprised by how good it can feel.

... Read moreWriting poetry about vulnerability and impact can be a transformative experience. From my own journey, I learned that opening up about difficult emotions like heartbreak and trauma not only helps me process pain but also builds bridges with others who feel the same. Poems like "Raging Seas" capture deep anger and empowerment, while love poems remind me of both the beauty and struggles in relationships. If you're hesitant to share your writing, I encourage you to take small steps. The support I've received after sharing poems about my healing journey has been overwhelming. It opens doors for conversations about topics often left unspoken, like trauma healing and self-love. Even short poems can carry rich meaning and help others feel less alone. You might be surprised how putting your feelings into words—whether about oppression, loss, or growth—can provide relief and even inspire hope. Poetry offers a unique way to explore complex emotions and connect with others who resonate with your experiences. Joining challenges or communities focused on writing can nurture both your craft and your emotional well-being. Give it a try; it’s an act of courage that can lead to profound personal growth and shared understanding.

These are poems that hit hard and I relate to them. The first one is about love, the second one is about self growth, the third one is about depression, the fourth one is about falling in love, and the last one is about the pain of healing
