The Poems I Wrote in the Dark to Save Myself
For the soul who has lived through hell and kept their heart beating, this is for you.
"You're not alone. You never were. And you're not too broken to begin again."
Not every healing journey happens in the light. Some are born in shadows, in silence, and in the moments you almost gave up.
The Dark Side poem collection
is a raw, soul-stirring collection of poetry for anyone who has ever felt too much, broken, or forgotten. These are the words we whisper when no one's listening, the confessions we keep behind smiles, the truth we're scared to tell even ourselves.
This book walks boldly through the darkest corners of the human experience - and dares to find beauty there. Spanning themes of trauma, grief, anxiety, self-hate, heartbreak, betrayal, societal pressure, and inner rebirth.
Split into five hauntingly powerful sections:
The Dark Within
- where self-doubt, anxiety, and internal battles unfold. The battles you fight alone in silence
The Dark of Others
- exploring toxic love, betrayal, abandonment, and emotional wounds.The people who left scars while calling it love
The Dark System
- a poetic rebellion against societal expectations, capitalism, and cultural pain. The world that taught you to shrink
The Dark Before the Healing
- transformation through grief, rock bottom, and shadow work. The pain that became your teacher
Welcome to Your Dark Side
- full-circle reclamation, power, boundaries, and self-love without apology. The version of you that rose from it all
These poems offer truth, realness, solidarity, the permission to feel it all and survive.
Welcome to your dark side. Stay awhile. There's strength here.
