…a place where the silence softens…
Welcome to the quiet you have carried for so long.
This is where the silence breaks…not with a scream,
but with the soft, deliberate tremble of truth.
These poems explore and express love, loss, abuse, memory, and the human experience. Every poem here is a whisper you weren’t allowed to speak…until now.
…and ends with your first whisper.
Whispers that break the silence…
The Night Everything Broke
my mother’s suffering drowned my eyes
The Cold Chain
it gleamed silver in the muted air
Balloon
A red speck fades where hands fell short
Heterovert
your slur—my ceaseless derogation
Tearful Eyes
dulled my mind and left my soul despaired
On This Day
the mob’s cheers and chants battered my ears
Naïve Boy
I always believed life would be fair
Blood Burning
queens snorted and screamed
Lipstick Boy
resisted your masculine pressure
