This piece is about the heavy, lingering weight that remains after a toxic relationship ends. It’s for anyone who has been made to feel small by someone they trusted, someone who used lies, cheating, and verbal abuse to tear down their confidence. When a partner calls you names and betrays you, those words don't just disappear; they become a part of how you see yourself in the mirror. This poem explores that internal struggle, the feeling of being trapped in a "casing" of someone else’s insults and trying to find the person you were before the trust was broken. It’s a raw look at the negativity and insecurity that follows a betrayal, and the difficult journey of trying to reclaim your own image.

I am basically wrestling with inner chaos. The madness inside that we keep locked away-the darker sides of ourselves. If you do let the demons run free, it could consume you. its a reminder to keep those compartmentalized, not to let it take over and that you will eventually get to hear your own voice.

A romantic couple spend their winter snowstorm night at their home, making love, bringing their romantic night into a warm and comforting, but long-lasting night of love to remember.

Title: Raw in depth These are poems that aren't just an anthology; it is a heartbeat, a pulse,a raw unfiltered expression of the human condition. A landscape marked by shadows of depression, fire of anger,the whirlwind of bipolar disorder, and the lingering echos of trauma. It is a story of battles with addiction and abuse, moments consumed by mania, and of the quiet yet profound ache of growth. This is not just my story but an invitation to step into the kaleidoscope of human emotion, to feel the sting of my brokenness and the courage of my rebuilding. From the tender age of adolescents to the weathered but resilient spirit of adulthood. These poems capture the essence of what it means to struggle, fall,and to rise again. This is a journey through the depths of my mind and the heights of my soul.

This is a short poem about a discovery I made in the woods when I was young. It was frightening and stuck with me. I remember it as clear as the afternoon I came upon it.
