Welcome to the words that saved me
I write what others are too afraid to say out loud.
Because silence is a graveyard, and I refuse to bury my truth anymore.
Whether you found me through a poem, a quote, or a quiet moment while scrolling, I’m grateful you’re here.
This isn’t just a website. It’s a resting place for the heavy-hearted. A safe space for raw words, real stories, and the kind of honesty that doesn’t flinch.
I write for the ones who survived what they never should have had to.
For the ones who smile with tired eyes, who carry their past in their spine but still find ways to be gentle.
For the misfits, the feelers, the ones who still believe in something soft.
Here, you’ll find poetry and prose shaped by trauma, healing, love, and survival.
And maybe somewhere in these pages, you’ll find a piece of yourself too.
