They didn’t break me.
They just held me wrong.
And I bruised—
like something soft
trying to be strong.
For the ones who still flinch when someone calls them “too sensitive.”

Fellow poets and indie authors!
Where did you look to publish smaller collections or single poems?
I work tirelessly to look for places and submit, but I figured I’d look for advice from the best writing community! #poetrycommunity#poetry#indiewriters#writerscommunity
I poured all my softness
into people who only knew
how to hold sharp things.
I bloom slower now—
but every petal
knows its worth.
For anyone who’s ever been punished for being gentle.
🖤 save this.

They say happiness is a choice.
But no one talks about the cost.
I smiled so wide,
my ribs forgot they were empty.
Like this if you’ve ever kept smiling through it.
